Accordion mode expands the focused side panel, but when that panel has
little content (an empty Files panel, a Branches panel with only master)
it just fills the extra height with blank space. The same waste happens
for any panel that gets more height than it has content to show.
When this option is enabled, each side panel is sized to its own content
(plus a blank line, so it's clear there's nothing more below) rather than
to an equal share of the height. The height a small panel gives up flows
to the panels that have more content than fits; those grow up to their
content and then scroll, weighted toward the focused panel in accordion
mode so the two features compose. Only when every panel fits with room to
spare is the leftover shared out equally, regardless of focus: enlarging
the focused panel there would reveal no more content and would only make
the panels jump around as the focus moves.
The option is independent of expandFocusedSidePanel and off by default.
The status panel, and the stash panel when unfocused, keep their fixed
one-line height as before.

Replace the hard-coded side panel order, tab groupings, and window
assignments with values resolved from the gui.sidePanels config. The panel
order (SideWindows and the layout boxes), the tab strips (viewTabMap), the
per-context window names, each window's default view, and the jump-label
groups all now come from the config rather than from five separate
hard-coded lists.
A panel's window name is the name of its first tab, and panels not listed
in the config get their own window name so their views stay hidden instead
of overlapping a visible panel. Three small lookups translate config names
into views, tab titles, and contexts; a test keeps them in sync with the
set of valid names. The lookups are split this way (rather than one
resolver) because configureViewProperties runs before the context tree
exists, so the title/view lookups must not depend on it.
The config is applied to a repo's contexts via applySidePanelConfig on
every repo entry, including the cached-repo path: a repo's per-repo config
can differ from the previously visited one's, so each repo's contexts must
be (re)assigned from its own config rather than kept from when they were
first built.
With the default config this reproduces today's layout exactly.

The three branches of sidePanelChildren each spelled out the five side
windows by name, so the panel order lived in three places and the
status/stash sizing special-cases were tangled into positional literals.
Map each branch over one `windows` slice instead, and fold the
normal-height special-cases (status's fixed height, stash's
collapse-unless-focused) into a single per-window function. Behavior is
unchanged; this isolates the ordering so it can later come from config.

When focusing the main view, going into full screen mode by pressing '+' twice,
and then opening the search prompt ('/') or a menu (e.g. '?' or ':'), the full
screen display would switch to the focused side panel.
Fix this by always excluding popups from the window arrangement logic. No popup
should ever have any influence on how the views beneath it are laid out.
The output of the GetWindowDimensions function is hard to understand just by looking at it,
so I've added a helper function in the tests to render the window layout as text, so that
in order to create a new test you just come up with some args and paste the output as the
expected output.
This has the same downsides that any snapshot-based testing has: it's more brittle than
targeted assertions. But it is much easier to make sense of these snapshots than it is
to make sense of more fine-grained assertions, and I like the fact that these tests can
serve as documentation.
