Feature Overview (aka. Goal Summary)

The current customization options of the sidebar allows customers to change titles of sidebar items and add additional sidebar items.

https://docs.redhat.com/fr/documentation/red_hat_developer_hub/1.4/html/customizing/customizing-appearance#proc-customize-rhdh-font_customizing-appearance

Currently the sidebar items can only be removed by setting the sidebar item title to an empty string.

The sidebar search can not be removed at the moment.

Goals (aka. expected user outcomes)

The goal is an official way how to remove sidebar items from the sidebar instead of setting the title to an empty string. Like enabled: false or disabled: true.

There should be also a way to remove the search.

Evaluation / Stretch goal: Can we also allow plugins to add components to the sidebar. We might can take a look into the new frontend system to see what options are there available in the future.

Requirements (aka. Acceptance Criteria):

1. Sidebar items can be removed with a nicer way than setting the title to an empty string.
2. Customers can remove the search
