Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
I am trying to use gdbgui for debugging bare-metal ARM code running in QEMU.

There are a lot of display sections in gdbgui right panel which do not make sense in this use case.
I am especially interested in the register panel contents, which gets pushed out of view each time.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
I would like to be able to control which sections are enabled and displayed, as well as the ability to rearrange the sections.
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
Make the right panel occupy the entire height of the window to provide more space.
**Additional context**
I'm running on macOS Mojave, with multiarch gdb 9.1 and qemu 4.2.0 installed using MacPorts.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing the frontend's right-panel section rendering and register-panel placement; done means users can choose which sections are visible and rearrange them without losing access to the registers.
