Refactoring icons are not displayed in the table.

I can send a PR with the feature reimplemented with the new VcsLogCustomColumn api. The downside of this api is that custom columns are enabled by default, which is different from the current implementation. This could be surprising to the users, so I'm not sure if this is the right change to make.

Here is the screenshot of log tab with the new column:

The new api creates actions to enable columns in the "Show Columns" menu, so the custom action will be no longer needed (not sure if "Detected Refactorings" is good column name, suggestions are welcome):

Is there no other way to add the column and show it only if the user wants to see it?

I don't know any. We can add api for it in the next version (2021.1).

Api was added to 2021.1: JetBrains/intellij-community@aabbc19

@juliabeliaeva, it looks good, thank you! To be clear, we will add the information about this feature with a screenshot to README.

@onewhl, Just to clarify, do you think it's ok to display the refactoring labels by default?

@juliabeliaeva I see, that indeed might be confusing for the users. Is there no other way to add the column and show it only if the user wants to see it?

@juliabeliaeva that's great, thank you!
