The term "frame-local" is not well-defined and can mean different
things: for numeric 'tab-bar-show' it can mean that the presence of the
tab-bar on each frame depends on the number of tabs on that frame.
For toggle-frame-tab-bar it can mean that the user can enable/disable
the tab-bar for each frame manually.
