tabInfo grows over time and extension is allocating more and more memory. chrome.tabs.onRemoved.addListener is getting integer tabId, not tab object.

What does this PR do?
I noticed that when browser is running for longer time (days/weeks), the extension has masive memory footprint (hundreds of MB).
I investigated a little and noticed that WebRequestMonitor.tabInfo is never removed,
and it is because chrome.tabs.onRemoved.addListener had wrong parameter.
