Adds the action, hides all tabs

According to Tomáš, some people might complain when text editing area is not large enough due to tabs on top of source editors (introduced by adding History tab).

The simple logical solution I can think of is based on hiding whole toolbar + switching tabs when user unchecks "show editor toolbars". To make the switching more visible and accessible, it would be part of popup menu on the title of each multiview top component.

Log: #199545: Multiview toolbar is completely hidden to give editor as much space as possible. Popup menu action on component's tab allows easy switching between tabs
