#11768: tab bar should be near input text box

------------------+---------------------------------------------------------
 I frequently enter a message into the wrong conversation because the
 default tab bar position is too far away from the message text box (ie,
 tabbar at the top, textbox at the bottom).

 I suggest moving the tabbar to bottom as a default to mitigate this
 problem for new user.

 finch's tab bar is near its message input line too, FWIW.

 The UI would looks strange from other GUI programs, but consider a browser
 with tabbed interface: the tab bar in there would be put *near the
 addressbar*, which is equivalent to Pidgin's input box.
