Restrict Instant field trial to UMA opt-in users.
Note that if the Instant experiment has already been enabled, and *then* the user opts out of UMA, this won't disable the experiment immediately (since the global field trial state doesn't change). Instead, it will be disabled at browser restart. I think this is acceptable since, if the user is fiddling with preferences after Instant has been enabled, they can already click the Instant checkbox to turn it off. In addition: + Fix a typo in the "Omnibox.QueryTime.*" histogram. + Update the comment in the .h file so it flows better. BUG=91820 TEST=Disable UMA reporting (as is default in a Chromium build), and verify that the Instant experiment doesn't get enabled.
