Summary of the new feature/enhancement

Show tab number in tab. As we have hotkey alt+number to switch between tabs, it would be nice if we can see in advance the tab number displayed in the tab bar. #1147 asked for panes number inside a tab. This request is for the tab number.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Show the tab number in tab before the tab icon.

My terminal version is : 0.2.1831.0

Is it intended to show the number the whole time or could there be a way to show the number only while holding alt? Mabe like a oerlay?

I'd like it if they showed up when you hold Alt. Needs some UI design. @cinnamon-msft mind taking a crack at the art here?

I also believe it should pop only as you press the alt, as otherwise it's not really relevant information.

The question is whether it should cause a toolbar repaint/redraw (since the tab will suddenly contain more text)? I think it would be best to avoid this flickering. For instance, it could appear over something. Question is over what? Icon, title, close button - all of these are pretty important 😀

Also it would be wonderful if there is an opt-out for that, as personally as a keyboard-oriented user I didn't really need this feature (got here just by browsing the issues 😉).
