T11663: Move URL Navigator into toolbar

[Johannes Ricke]

  Picking up the discussions taken place on Reddit <https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/e5evx6/restructuring_of_dolphin_and_maybe_even_a_case_in/>, on T12308 <https://phabricator.kde.org/T12308> and on T11662 <https://phabricator.kde.org/T11662>, I'd like to show a revised mockup and would love some input on it:
  F7798199: dolphin_split_tabs_kurl.png <https://phabricator.kde.org/F7798199>
  I was also toying with the idea of having the tabs use a minimum width to increase their overall wideness and to prevent really small tabs when users are in directories such as /usr, maybe even auto fill the width available to use the space completely.
  This mockup is not using any new QStyles, so it may look different on a proper redesign, but it takes into account a lot of information gathered from the talks as such:
  
  1. When putting the URL Navigator into the toolbar, it can become quite inconsistent in terms of visual appearance. This is mainly caused by the unknown factor of what a user would put in their toolbar on the left of the URL Navigator: F7798055: dolphin_split.png <https://phabricator.kde.org/F7798055>
  
  2. Gnome and Apple have their HIG set up to define a window as starting with a title- or headerbar, then showing a toolbar, then moving on to possible tab bars. It is considered generally good practice and can be used to create a more "sorted" look for Dolphin and other applications using this style of layout. This still allows the user to freely position and construct their toolbars as needed without interfering with the placement of the URL Navigator.
