Add preview tabs (#9125)
This PR implements the preview tabs feature from VSCode.
More details and thanks for the head start of the implementation here
#6782.

Here is what I have observed from using the vscode implementation ([x]
-> already implemented):
- [x] Single click on project file opens tab as preview
- [x] Double click on item in project panel opens tab as permanent
- [x] Double click on the tab makes it permanent
- [x] Navigating away from the tab makes the tab permanent and the new
tab is shown as preview (e.g. GoToReference)
- [x] Existing preview tab is reused when opening a new tab
- [x] Dragging tab to the same/another panel makes the tab permanent
- [x] Opening a tab from the file finder makes the tab permanent
- [x] Editing a preview tab will make the tab permanent
- [x] Using the space key in the project panel opens the tab as preview
- [x] Handle navigation history correctly (restore a preview tab as
preview as well)
- [x] Restore preview tabs after restarting
- [x] Support opening files from file finder in preview mode (vscode:
"Enable Preview From Quick Open")
 
I need to do some more testing of the vscode implementation, there might
be other behaviors/workflows which im not aware of that open an item as
preview/make them permanent.

TODOs
- [x] Provide `enable_preview_tabs` setting
- [x] Write some tests
- [x] How should we handle this in collaboration mode (have not tested
the behavior so far)
- [x] Keyboard driven usage (probably need workspace commands)
- [x] Register `TogglePreviewTab` only when setting enabled?
- [x] Render preview tabs in tab switcher as italic
- [x] Render preview tabs in image viewer as italic
- [x] Should this be enabled by default (it is the default behavior in
VSCode)?
- [x] Docs

Future improvements (out of scope for now):
- Support preview mode for find all references and possibly other
multibuffers (VSCode: "Enable Preview From Code Navigation")
