UI: Sequencer sidebar tweaks for the viewer

  - Move the Channels setting to the View panel
  - Remove double separators in the View panel
  - Close the Scene panel by default - it only applies in rare cases
  - Move the Frame Overlay from the header to a sidebar panel
    Previously it used a strange ghost icon, and it make the other controls jump around
    Now uses clearer naming
