Omni contextual side bar on the 3d view, and other arrangements on the UI

The "N" panel today displays LOTS of options, most of them focused only on specific use cases.

I made an inventory of what are the available options on the object mode and most options have nothing to do with the selected object. (See attached image).

So, I propose to have the N panel displaying object information, last operator options, plugins panel that can be used with the selected object, etc.

What do you think?

Contextual workflow needs to go to the properties editor...

@theredwaxpolice: I agree with that. However, one thing I like to use on the viewport is the ability to press shift+space to enter a fullscreen mode, without distractions.

It is a mixed bag of properties that sidepanel. Unifying and/or minimalizing would be good.

Would it be collapsable? and what about the outliner when you are making VSE editing? It would be showing unneeded information

@: Yes, It would be collapsible by pressing the N key. About the outliner, well, it is outside the 3d panel. User could just hide it.
