[Qt-creator] Tab UI in Projects mode to TreeView

[Typz]

Just my two cents, but if there is nothing more complex, the exact same look can be done very easily with a tree view and simple style sheet or delegate...

Back to the subject of moving the tabs to the side, I personally have mixed feelings:
- I often have many projects loaded, which does not work well with the tab-for-each-project UI; the side tree works very well to improve this, and is more consistent with other modes
- but with many projects, having each category of project settings in a subtree makes a very large tree, where I would need to close/open each project to fit on screen...

So maybe I would prefer to have s tree with only projects (and possibly/eventually subprojects, if some settings are available for them), and keep the second level tab for settings category...
