Title: Browser icon and immediate disable

This feature creates a browser action item for Vimium. Its primary purpose is to allow easy exclusion of URLs without needing to click through to the Options page.

To disable Vimium on a website, the user may now click the browser action button and see the domain of the current website populated in the input box. The user can edit this URL and click a button which adds that URL to the settings blacklist. Vimium is immediately disabled on the webpage; no need to reload!

The icon will change color depending on whether Vimium is enabled on the the web page. The popup also includes a link to the Options page for easy access to all settings.

There are a few possible extensions to this: adding a Help link to the popup and allowing "enable without refresh" are two, but I think this is a minimal feature set that provides the most value. Let me know what you think!

If accepted, this feature will close [GH-394](https://github.com/philc/vimium/issues/394).
