ui: Add a header row API for plugins Plugins can add sidebar entries and, per trace, status bar items, but no full-width controls, e.g. those of a live stream, which must also show while its trace opens. Add app.header, and trace.header whose items go away with the trace. Items render as full-width rows above the topbar and the sidebar, in registration order. Without items nothing renders, so the layout doesn't change. The sidebar button now aligns with the top of the sidebar's header instead of the window's, so a header row moves it down with the sidebar. Hence, with the hiring banner (off by default), it now sits below the banner.
