Stacked on #528.

The landing screen already offers to open a document twice - the fab, and the labelled button in the empty state - and both go straight to the system picker since the chooser dialog went away. The toolbar icon was a third copy of the same intent, in the one place where it is least explained: an unlabelled folder glyph next to the title.

Inside a document it was the odd one out too. Every other toolbar action acts on the document that is open; this one threw it away and started over, which is what back already does, and back lands on the list where the next document gets picked anyway.

The instrumented tests reached the picker through that icon, so they now click whichever landing entry point is on screen - which of the two it is depends on whether an earlier test already left something in the recent list.

The landing screen already offers to open a document twice - the fab, and
the labelled button in the empty state - and both go straight to the
system picker since the chooser dialog went away. The toolbar icon was a
third copy of the same intent, sitting in the one place where it is
least explained: an unlabelled folder glyph next to the title.

Inside a document it was the odd one out too. Every other toolbar action
acts on the document that is open; this one threw it away and started
over, which is what back already does, and back lands on the list where
the next document is picked anyway.

The tests clicked the toolbar icon to reach the picker, so they now
click whichever landing entry point is on screen. Which of the two it is
depends on whether an earlier test already left something in the recent
list, so they match either.
