As a user, I'd like to have Fenix available as an Assistant

[colintheshots]

Why/User Benefit/User Problem

The assistant button on most phones is the fastest way to access an app. Fennec and Focus support replacing the Google Assistant if the user wishes to.

What / Requirements

It takes a trivial change to the Android manifest.

Acceptance Criteria (how do I know when I’m done?)

The user can select Fenix as assistant and then Fenix appears when hitting the assistant button.

The user can select Fenix as assistant and then Fenix appears when hitting the assistant button.

Fennec also opens a new tab and puts the input focus on the URL bar, in case this might be worth considering here as well.

Oh, I know it's pretty trivial. I need issues to track the work, even if it's a one-line change. We have higher priority items, so I want to put this in the backlog for when anyone has time.

Verified it works on Samsung Galaxy Note 8 (Android 8.0), Pixel (Android 9)

Does that mean no special action in response to that Intent?
