'tab-bar--tab-bar-lines-for-frame' is used to set tab-bar-lines,
but you need only to get it.

It's a different situation when you see tabs like in a web browser.
They have even an option "Ask before closing multiple tabs".
We could add a similar option instead of the above one,
with 3 possible values like

1. nil - don't ask and close all tabs
2. t - close only the current tab
3. 'ask - ask a confirmation
