The SlimNav experiment is hitting the CHECK(_webUsageEnabled) in
-ensureWebViewCreatedWithConfiguration when loading placeholder
URL while web usage is disabled. One cause for this situation is when
clearing website data while an interstitial is presented over a native
view. WebInterstitialImpl::DontProceed() is called after web usage is
disabled and it triggers the reload of the native view, which in turn
triggers the placeholder load. Deferring the load fixes the problem,
because the web view is recreated immediately after.

Other causes for placeholder load when web usage is disabled exist, but
the causes are not fully understood. This CL fixes the crashes in these
cases as well. This should uncover behavior changes, that hopefully give
us more details to fix the root cause later.

A downstream egtest for the interstitial case is added in
