Konsole with close button

Makes no sense if this button is not on the tab. 

Take for example what happens if I have 5 tabs open and I want to close the second one - I have to activate it an then I have to move the mouse over to the right side to close the tab - bad UX. Instead of having the application icon on each tab it would be much nicer to have a close button.

Konsole does not have a close button for a tab, you can right-click it and chose "Close Tab".

(For consistency with other apps like Kate, I guess that it is better to show the close button on the right though.)

There are trade offs - mostly dealing w/ space - if someone want to provide a patch we can look at it.
