Ability to add Activity Bar inside Side Bar

[normalser]

Just adding this request as suggested by @bpasero in #1105 (comment)

For example setting:

workbench.activityBar.location = "sideBar"

Benefit would be that Cmd+B would hide both at the same time - right now one need to hide them separately - they are both related so would make sense to be able to dock Activity Bar inside Side Bar - especially for someone who wants more horizontal space (when working with multiple editor groups)

Not very likely to happen as we will let extensions contribute custom explorer views:

However, this might be a good candidate for "chaining commands" described in #6617

/cc @Tyriar fyi.

Yes you could probably write an extension that provides a command that does this, #6617 would allow you to get around needing an extension.

@octref Can you link to the relevant issue regarding the custom explorer views in the activity bar that's in your image? I can't seem to find any documentation regarding that feature addition.
