Move to Developer Tools tab

Rather than adding an icon to the address bar, could we look at something like Google PageSpeed... where they add a new tab to the WebDev toolbar, and use the panel to display the results (maybe an option to see the original W3C html output, for those of us who like to see the green bar).

For reference I do like the entries appearing in the console, but maybe a custom UI (or at least one which is very similar) will get rid of the disclosure triangle (showing the stack trace), and the "VM230:1" source link on the right.

The disclosure triangle is a particular bugbear of mine and I've been considering ways of fixing that in the console.

I've also considered that it may be suited to being added to the Audits panel. Although the extension API for this is currently experimental, so this cannot be implemented until this is stable.

I'd also like to get more opinions from users on this before making any large UI changes. Please comment on this issue, if you have opinions or suggestions on these proposals.

As discussed in #23, the ability to link to the sources tab should be taken into account when making a decision on this.

Audits panel would also work... in the same way that the "Accessibility Developer Tools" also uses it.
