Add a voice control button to about:newtab and about:home page search boxes.

This button should have the following features:

Tangent to the issue, but, considering how useful this could be and how SpeechRecognition is a thing now, what if there was an attribute added to <input type="text|search" /> that, when present and supported, added a mic icon inside of the input, similar to the clear/reset/whatever icon currently used for dates.

Maybe just for search, since text is the default, and too few developers use the correct input types. Maybe for <textarea> and even contenteditable="true" too.

I assume that there is at least an idea of implementing this by default.
