Description

I have a case where I would need to scroll horizontally because there are too many open tabs.
Would you be interested if I prepare a PR adding support for it?
Mockup:

< | tab 1 | tab 2 | tab 3 | tab 4 | > 
-------------------------------------
|              Panel                |
-------------------------------------

PS: The scroll would be only for the TabList.

Research direction

Start by locating the TabList implementation and its existing tab navigation behavior. Review how the component handles tabs that exceed the available width, then implement horizontal scrolling limited to the TabList. Done means the tabs remain usable when there are too many to fit, while the panel layout is unchanged.
