Plot editor tab sizing policies

[timtmok]

Release Notes

Addresses #5522 and #4358

Each plot client has their own metadata that now includes the sizing policy. Each plot can, whether it is in an editor tab or the view, independently set a sizing policy that will be restored on reload.

Adds an action that can switch between sizing policies for the selected plot. The action only shows the options that would be available from the sizing policy menu button in the Plots view. A custom sizing policy can only be set if there already is one set in the Plots view. It cannot be altered from the action.

Restored editors might not restore to the same editor group if there are multiple. I can follow up with adding that to the plot metadata so it can be restored to the same location. The editor order may also not be the same but I think we can live with that.

Finally, it also needs another update later to add the action to the editor toolbar but that will need more work to allow a menu style button.
