Move watched repositories to Notifications screen
This reproduces the behavior present on GitHub web interface where notifications and watched repositories are grouped under 2 tabs in the same page.
Related to #578 and #624
I don't use notifications myself, so I'm not sure whether this is a good idea, but just to have mentioned it: I wonder whether having the watched repo list optional instead of a tab, that is, have it accessible via toolbar button only.
Personally, I would be happy with that option as I only use the notifications screen and rarely check my watched repositories. But, the aim of this change is to improve discoverability. Previously this entry was hidden in non-intuitive place. If we moved to overflow it would present a similar situation.
We could potentially move it to overflow menu for both Notifications and My Repositories screens but this seems more of a hack.
That's why I think tabs are the best option here. It's easy to find as it replicates tabbed interface in notifications screen on GitHub: https://github.com/watching
I totally forgot to answer you :-/ I wasn't thinking of overflow, but a real toolbar menu item, like the filter one in the repo list. I don't think that would cause a discoverability problem. What I'm not a fan of (and would like to avoid) is putting more or less unrelated content in two tabs. I don't really like having two tabs already (as it somehow feels like a waste of screen space), but especially not in this case, even if Github does it :-/
