feat : add "Default tab" property on tab widget

[gabriel-desmarchelier]

In my opinion, the Tab widget Active Tab property behaviour is quite annoying :

• it is used as the default tab to be opened when running the display
• in edition mode, its value changes when browsing through the different tabs. One has to think every time about clicking back on the tab they want to be the default before saving

In the end, the saved Active Tab is often the one in which the latest edit was made, rather than the one we actually want to be the default.

I suggest a dedicated Default Tab property :

• the Active Tab property remains, though it's now mostly to be used at runtime (e.g. in rules) or for backward compatibility
• to ensure backward compatibility, the Default Tab default value is set to -1 : in this case, we keep using the Active Tab property to set the default tab

I come up with this proposal as a fix for a behavior we dislike, but there may be other ideas to think about :

• maybe just keep a single Active Tab property but delete the behaviour of it changing in edition mode

Note that the same could be implemented for NavigationTabs, if my proposal gets any support.

Here is bob file to test this feature :
