Before this commit, we carried custom code and styles for the sidebar on
mobile. This meant the look and feel of bringing up the sidebar on
mobile was very different from the user menu resulting in a very
inconsistent experience on mobile. Also, we could not leverage on the
existing swipe to close support on mobile.
In this commit, we made it such that the sidebar dropdown is always
rendered on mobile and made the interaction with the dropdown more
consistent with the user menu. There is also more parity with the old
hamburger dropdown when the experimental sidebar is disabled.
This commit removes the ability to enable/disable the Sidebar on a per
user basis and introduces a site wide setting. For testing purposes, sidebar can be enabled/disabled via the `enable_sidebar=1` or `enable_sidebar=0` query param.
When the experimental Sidebar is enabled, the hamburger drop down is replaced by a sidebar drop down. A user is given the ability to dock and undock the sidebar depending on their personal preference.
Do also note that the experimental sidebar is well, considered experimental at this point so I do not intend for the features here to be perfect. What I aim to do here is to ship the changes fast so that it can be used internally by the team to provide feedback. Custom links added by plugins and dark mode toggle has not been implemented as part of this commit as I aim to tackle it in another commit.
