UI: Changes to NLA Solo Button #107672

Move the NLA Solo button to right side of channel row.

This is a request from the Animation Module, specifically advocated by Brad Clark.

This PR just moves the "Solo" button from the left side of the channel row to the far right. While in there I changed the alignment and spacing slightly. The following shows how it looks now with Solo on the left. You will also notice that the "Action" icon in the row above is tight against the left of its row. And the Suzanne "Object" icon lines up with none of those below it:

This PR moves the "Solo" button to the far right. And the padding is changed slightly so that the "Object" icon lines up better with the Action icon and there is some comfortable padding for the channel names:

Thank you for exploring if we could move it to help better organize and place the buttons together and help discoverability of the solo button as well as contextualize it by putting it next to the other track buttons like mute and lock.
I know that there are also requests from many people to replace the solo icon with a different one but that should be a separate change from this UI aliment I think.

Looks much better!

Much better, thanks Harley!
