[konsole] [Bug 453218] Restore split views sharing tabs globally from 18.12.3

[Tomaz Canabrava]

You do not consider, a lot of people did and we had a pile of bugs opened
for that.

You can still manage two views independently and use tabs independently:
create two Konsole windows, and open tabs on them.

I doubt tue old style will get back, but we can work with compromises:  a
way to mirror tabs, I won’t implement it as I find a waste of my time. If
you have time to implement this, I can help you start and review the code.

Best,
Tomaz
