Allows users to configure their own custom sidebar sections with links withing Discourse instance. Links can be passed as relative path, for example "/tags" or full URL.
Only path is saved in DB, so when Discourse domain is changed, links will be still valid.
Feature is hidden behind SiteSetting.enable_custom_sidebar_sections. This hidden setting determines the group which members have access to this new feature.
This commit introduces an icon to all links in the sidebar. If an icon has not been configured, we will fall back to a generic "link" icon. As part of this commit, we also standardised the size of each prefix to 20px by 20px and set a fix margin. This is to allow sufficient space for text prefixes and image prefixes to be displayed.
Tests have been intentionally left out for now as I don't feel like asserting for the icons will bring much value at this point. Time shall prove me wrong.

The following changes are made in this commit:
1. Move caret icon in sidebar section header to the right.
1. Each row in sidebar takes the full width which enables us to do a
full width highlight on hover and when sidebar link is active.
1. Ensure each row in Sidebar is of the same height.

When the experimental Sidebar is enabled, the hamburger drop down is replaced by a sidebar drop down. A user is given the ability to dock and undock the sidebar depending on their personal preference.
Do also note that the experimental sidebar is well, considered experimental at this point so I do not intend for the features here to be perfect. What I aim to do here is to ship the changes fast so that it can be used internally by the team to provide feedback. Custom links added by plugins and dark mode toggle has not been implemented as part of this commit as I aim to tackle it in another commit.

Tests have been intentionally left out as it is hard to test interaction that relies on local storage.
It also isn't the end of the world if the feature regresses.
