[lazarus] TNotebook vs TTabbedNotebook

[d0hb0y]

Couldn't TNotebook be a subclass of TTabbedNotebook where the default value 
of "showtabs" was set to false?  That way we get the best of both worlds I 
would think.

I suppose it could be reversed such that TNotebook is the base class and 
TTabbedNotebook is just TNotebook with showtabs set to true :)
