The *_RELIEF variables are used in more than one place, so it makes
sense to have them.

As for the "symmetry" with the tool bar: it doesn't really exist,
since you do almost everything related to the tab-bar button display
in Lisp, not in C.  That "symmetry" is very misleading, so much so
that the other day it cost me 2 hours of frustrating debugging before
I realized why the image parameters I see in w32term.c are so
different from what Vtab_bar_button_margin says it should be.
