Description
### Expected Behavior
Expectation of 'Hide org side panel', 'Hide status bar' and 'Hide Login bar' (name?) in preferences analogous to 'Hide menu bar'.
### Actual Behavior
Only tickbox for 'Hide menu bar' exists
### Reproduction Steps
Preferences -> General
### Is there an existing issue for this?
- [X] I have searched the [issue tracker](https://www.github.com/Kong/insomnia/issues) for this problem.
### Additional Information
Please consider screen real estate in future UI redesigns. Visually, negative space is pleasing to the eye, but a tool for professionals should at the very least allow users to reclaim all that lost space. Visual Studio code for example allows for both hotkeys and configuration to hide all of the above.
Fullscreen, I loose 10% verticality and about 5% horizontally to mostly empty space. When half size, depending on the orientation with a tiling window manager the percentage of usable screen space decreases further and the application now has quite poor usability outside of full screen mode.

Research direction
Start in Preferences → General and trace the existing “Hide menu bar” option through its settings and UI handling. Determine how the organization side panel, status bar, and login bar are rendered, then add corresponding preferences so each can be hidden. Done means all three options appear in Preferences and reliably hide their respective bars or panel.
