The vertical text in the sidebar that is configurable in Kate

SUMMARY
In Kate, it is possible to configure the sidebar to have vertical text. This is
also supported in other, non-KDE, apps such as the Clementine music player.
This would be beneficial for users with small screens, as it would reduce the
screen real estate occupied by the sidebar.

There is an alternative in only using icons, but this is generally less
compact, and removes the text entirely making it in my opinion less clear.
Additionally the buttons become rather small for Fitt's law.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Right click sidebar
2. See no option for "Show Text & Icons" but vertically

OBSERVED RESULT
No option for vertical text

EXPECTED RESULT
An option for vertical text to reduce the size occupied by the sidebar, similar
to what is shown in the attachment.
