As a first stab at tab faces, now there are 3 new faces:

- tab-bar-tab-group-current
- tab-bar-tab-group-inactive
- tab-bar-tab-ungrouped

and two new options:

- tab-bar-tab-face-function
- tab-bar-tab-group-face-function

The latter can be used for color-coding, e.g. by assigning a distinctive
color to each group of tabs.

I'm striving to make only minimal changes in the core library
and to provide enough knobs for easy customization.

Please try this to see if there is still anything missing.
