TabLayout no public API to remove, disable, or change the width of its divider

[ArcherEmiya05]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The divider concept looks untidy with our current UI, but there is no way to remove or disable it without making changes to the global theming and making the divider having the same color as the background container. We have a module/library that handles Material 3 theming, we do not want this library to silently hide the divider (for future use case where it is nice to have) by enforcing the divider color to match the background.

Describe the solution you'd like
Provide a public attribute to allow removal of divider.

Describe alternatives you've considered
N/A

Also worth mentioning there seems to be a mishap on the documentation.

The divider actually use colorOutlineVariant in Material 3. The doc mentioned that it is using colorSurfaceVariant, however if you scroll down a bit you'll also see it mentioned in the same page that the divider uses outline variant.
