### Description
Add means to disable or hide code preview in Usages results.
### Use case/motivation
I code on a monitor in portrait orientation.
**Motivation for request**
1. The code preview in Usages takes up over 2/3 of the window width covers
about 50% of the horizontal extent of the results tree
2. The Usages code preview cannot be resized so it is not visible. When the
divider is dragged as far as possible to the right, line numbers are still
visible.
* The Search Results code preview can be completely hidden by dragging
the divider all the way to the right.
3. Usages code preview does not respect user preferences. Each invocation
returns the divider to the default position which means I have to drag it back
to the right to be able to read the results without having to scroll.
* Once hidden (i.e. divider moved fully right) the Search Results code
preview remains hidden even when NetBeans is closed and reopened.
NetBeans has been my daily driver for over 20 years and I have rarely wished
for a code preview in usages (or search results). It should be an optional
element and not forced upon everyone, especially when the implementation is in
such a rough state.
