Description
### What would you like to happen?
Migration: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HOP-2902
Left and right side of the pipeline and workflow canvases we should be able to create a "side-bar" with which plugins could do whatever they want.
The idea is to allow plugins to take a piece of canvas real-estate which can be collapsed. This could work for these use-cases:
Left side: "Kettle plugins tree"
Right side: data previewing
Docked transform and action properties

Research direction
Start with the Hop Gui implementation of pipeline and workflow canvases and its plugin extension points. Determine how a plugin could reserve collapsible left or right canvas space for a sidebar, then verify that the design supports the listed use cases: a plugins tree, data previewing, and docked transform or action properties.
