Comment:

 A surprisingly small patch seems to work for the scenarios we care about,
 and does nothing to the existing vanilla HTTPS website handling.

 Scenarios tested:

 || Scenario Name || Result ||
 || HTTP Onion || Onion Icon ||
 || HTTPS Onion Self-Signed || Onion Icon ||
 || HTTPS Onion Unknown CA || Onion Icon ||
 || HTTPS Onion EV || Onion Icon + EV Name ||
 || HTTPS Onion Wrong Domain || Onion Warning Icon, Warning Splash Screen
 ||
 || HTTPS Onion Expired Self-Signed Cert || Onion Warning Icon, Warning
 Splash Screen ||
 || HTTP(S) Onion + HTTP Script || Onion Slash Icon ||
 || HTTP(S) Onion + HTTP Content || Onion Warning Icon ||
 || HTTP(S) Onion + HTTPS Content || Onion Icon ||
 || HTTPS Onion + HTTP Form || Onion Ion + Warning Popup on Form Submit ||

 HTTP Onion + HTTP Form does not give the warning popup and is tracked to
 be fixed in #33298
