User Preference Experimental Tab

Experimental tab in User Preferences for experimental features.
The tab option is only visible when "Developer Extras" is on.

Included here is a (commented out) example panel to be used as a
template for the new experimental panels. Since these panels will come
and go it is nice to have a reference in the code.
