Package Manager: Hide Tab After Uninstall

[gtalarico]

@eirannejad I was able to successfully hide/show tabs so we can clean them up after removing packages, which is a nice touch (uses tab name). (especially since for some reason, buttons are not being disabled for deleted packages even after reloading)

It uses the AdWindows.dll assembly. I am not sure if anything needs to be changed on the RPL, but on my end it's working out of the box. I added an exception handler just in case since I haven't tested it out.

Any concerns?

def toggle_tab(package_name, state):
    """ Needs AdWindows.dll"""
    try:
        clr.AddReference('AdWindows')
        from Autodesk.Windows import ComponentManager
    except Exception as errmsg:
        logger.warning('Could not access required DLL to hide/show tabs.')
    else:
        ribbon = ComponentManager.Ribbon
        for tab in ribbon.Tabs:
            if tab.Title == package_name:
                tab.IsVisible = state
