The verified publisher checkmark could persist when switching tabs
because brave:// URLs were not treated as internal URLs and
OnPanelPublisherInfo silently dropped null publisher info without
notifying the Java layer.
- Treat brave:// URLs as internal alongside chrome:// so they
clear the checkmark instead of querying getPublisherInfo.
- Notify Java with an empty publisher ID when OnPanelPublisherInfo
receives null info, so the UI clears stale state.
- Reset the checkmark immediately in didSelectTab as a safety net
before the async publisher query completes.
