Before: typing in the popup's search box (e.g. "fwe") could pop Chrome's address autofill dropdown ("fwextensions@gmail.com / Manage addresses…") over the results list.

After: the search box sets autocomplete="quickey-search", so Chrome shouldn't offer address autofill there.

Chrome ignores autocomplete="off" for address/email autofill when its heuristics think the field matches, but it doesn't offer address suggestions on fields with an autocomplete token it doesn't recognize.

How: added autoComplete to the <Input> in search-box.jsx and regenerated src/popup.html with npm run build:popup. Unit tests pass. Not verified in a real Chrome with saved addresses yet.

Chrome ignores autocomplete="off" when it guesses a field could hold an
address or email, so it was popping an autofill dropdown over the results
as the user typed. An unrecognized autocomplete token suppresses it.
