[lazarus] Delphi incompatibility

[Curtis White]

This is exactly what I had before. But instead of inheriting TTabbedNotebook from TNotebook, I had them both inherit from TCustomNotebook. All the functionality for a Notebook is in TCustomNotebook.
The only difference between TNotebook and TTabbedNotebook was Tabs were enabled on TTabbedNotebook and disabled on TNotebook.

I still like the idea of having just one that we can turn the tabs on and off. That is less to maintain. And if we provide a way to map TTabbedNotebook to TNotebook, then we solve the problem and
only have one control to maintain.
