Add support for removing status tab #14

Would it be possible for you to add support for removing status tab? Also additional learning resources on how to identify smali elements for UI would be greatly appreciated!

Yeah it is possible I can make it configurable, I just need to research the tab mechanism. About the learning resources- I will make a guide if I will have time for this.

For tab mechanism, I have done some research. Here is a Xposed Extension that dynamically modifies the smali bytecode - https://github.com/suraj0208/WhatsappExtensions/blob/0c4b130eb0b57f3193ca6ed8391f11b14ddc3763/app/src/main/java/com/suraj/waext/ExtModule.java#L1283

I still don't know how we can hook the View before it is inflated so that we can remove the UI component.

Good job for the research. I will take a look on it.
