Summary

Offer the option to hide the request horizontal tab bar. Depends on autosave to be implemented first.

Why should this be worked on?

If auto save https://github.com/hoppscotch/hoppscotch/issues/3437#issue-1932666928 gets implemented, horizontal tabs would loose part of their purpose. Add the option to disable it in the UI.

In practice, opening and running several requests makes the horizontal tab bar quickly cluttered and not practical to use.

Changing requests using the sidebar or the horizontal tab bar requires the same number of click.
Horizontal scrolling in a small area is less practical than sidebar vertical scrolling.
