Use URL interface in apply-css example
By using the URL interface, the user is ascertained that the piece of code does not manipulate the DOM. Keeping them in the right mental context for the example. The apply-css example uses the protocol of the URL of the tab to determine if a pageAction should be shown. Any page that is hosted over http or https will receive the page action. The former implementation creates an anchor tag, assigns the URL to that, and fetches the protocol from there. This PR alters that to using the URL interface. This makes it clear to the user that we're staying in JavaScript land and will not start manipulating the visible DOM. I would argue this is cleaner all together, but I'm very open to learning about a different opinion. The URL interface is more broadly supported than the pageAction.setIcon which this example is also dependent on, so this change should not change compatibility of this Browser Extension.
