This PR includes commits based on the feature request from #8681
It sets up custom fields for tab navigation within the 'Keyboard Shortcuts' section and also introduces a new section with two radio options under 'Tab Management'. These options allow users to decide whether they should cycle through unloaded tabs while navigating with shortcuts. Additionally, this same configuration can be bound to a shortcut for quick toggling.
I am aware someone tried to add custom shortcuts for tab navigation many months ago, but it was discontinued and unfinished, so I've made this.
I attempted to set the default shortcuts for tab cycling to 'Ctrl + Tab' and 'Ctrl + Shift + Tab', so that people who were already used to those would not have to go through the struggle of setting these manually on the custom fields. However, the 'Ctrl + Shift + Tab' combination did not function as expected. Because of that, I've decided to leave these default keybinds undefined for the time being and submit this PR for Cheff to check it out.
