New Feature: GUI: Add support for tabs

[factoriouzr]

Tabs are another standard feature of not so modern guis that would be great in factorio.

Right now when mods increase inventory or logistics requester slots, when they add items etc, the screen just expands and eventually the screen resolution becomes the limiting factor as the rest of the slots would result in cutting off the gui.

This would be useful for categorizing blueprints, for having extra logistics requester slot tabs without needing to expand the inventory screen to crazy proportions etc.

So you mean tabs for inventory only or in general for all kinds of gui?

[factoriouzr]

tabs for player logistics request slots but also in general they would be helpful for the rest of the gui. The game is great and I know it's unfinished but the GUI is very weak in general.

I admit that adding tab capability to every gui element for which tabs would make sense would add a lot of flexibility for future updates AND modders.
