Proposed feature to hide the Info Panel while in combat

[brainsnorkel]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Some folks like a more distraction-free combat. Most of the info on the info panel isn't relevant to combat. I made a version of LuiExtended with a setting to hide the info panel in combat.

Describe the solution you'd like

A setting to select if the info panel should disappear in combat.

Additional context

Git patch below (for the 6.6.9 version)
