ui: sidebar tab selector uses text labels instead of icons

Browse Source 
The two drawn tab glyphs were judged not understandable enough; the
switcher goes to the wide policy with titles only, and the glyphs,
their gresource entries and the icon-naming code are removed.

child of either scroller: the one control that chooses what you are looking at must
not be the first thing to scroll away.
The policy is `narrow` and the **titles are empty**: `narrow` still draws a label
beside an icon (measured: a 48px "Measure" inside a 54px pill), so an empty title is
what makes a pill an icon. The pages' *names* are what identify them to
`select_side_tab()` and the session file, and the words are re-attached to the pills in
code — tooltip and accessible name — by `name_side_tabs()` on the first tick, so an
icon-only pill is still a named thing rather than an anonymous button.
Each page's icon is a glyph of its own, and each one is a *pair*: the Measure tab is
`udpscope-tab-measure-symbolic` (the cursors and the ruler they read against), and the
Signals tab is `udpscope-tab-signals-symbolic` (the trigger's edge and the channel list
below it). They are drawn for the tabs rather than reusing the icons the toolbar and the
Preferences window already carry: a glyph the toolbar uses for one thing means two things
the moment a tab shows it too. -->
The tabs are words: the policy is `wide` and every page has a title, no icon. (They
were icon-only glyphs once; the glyphs were not understandable enough.) The pages'
*names* are what identify them to `select_side_tab()` and the session file; a source
kind's own tabs are added in code with their `SourcePanel::title`. -->
