fix: setting tabline option not redrawing tabline

With #20374 tabline option is marked with 'statuslines' redraw flag.
But 'statuslines' doesn't redraw tabline. As a result, tabline doesn't
get redrawn when tabline option is set and statuslines get unnecessarily redrawn.

This patch fixes the issue by adding a new redraw flag P_RTABL to redraw
tabline.
