Add an option to disable autocomplete completely

[samartnik]

Description

Currently we have 3 options that control autocompletion, but, even when all of them are turned off, autocomplete still uses history and bookmarks for completion. So we need to add an option to disable autocomplete completely to be on par with desktop.

Steps to reproduce

1. Visit some websites to collect a history.
2. Disable all 3 switches for autocompletion in privacy settings.
3. Start typing one of the previously visited web site. It will still suggest it.

Actual result

No option to control autocompletion in general.

Expected result

Add option to control autocompletion in general.
