Summary
Adds the ability to hide individual chat folder tabs from the tab strip for folders you keep around but rarely check, so they stop cluttering the tab bar while the chats inside them stay fully intact (not archived, not muted, not touched) and reachable.
Comes with a full UI around it: hide a folder from its own tab's long-press menu, hide/show it from the Edit Folders settings screen (swipe action), reach all hidden folders via a long-press on the Chats tab bar icon, and once you're actually inside a hidden folder its tab pill temporarily reappears so you're not lost.
Purely a tab-bar visibility filter. No chat data, notifications, unread counts, folder membership, or archive state are touched - a hidden folder's chats behave exactly as before, they just don't have a tab.
Local-only: hiding a folder on one device does not hide it on your other logged-in devices/clients.

Screenshots
Chats tab-bar long-press menu "Hidden Folders" row positioned right after "All Chats", before the visible folder list, and the "All Chats" row showing its new icon
No hidden folders -> no "Hidden Folders" menu by Chats tab-bar long-press
"Hidden Folders" expanded list of hidden folders each with its own badge, plus "Back"
A visible folder tab's long-press menu "Hide Folder"
The same folder now hidden and currently active, its tab pill temporarily visible in the strip, long-press shows "Show Folder"
Edit Folders menu: label for hidden folder
Edit Folders menu: swipe for Show/Hide a folder
