Description of problem: Modern laptops and screens are widescreen. This means that a full screen title bar ends up wasting a significant portion of the screen. Consider that a title bar is 25 pixels high, on a 768 tall screen. This means that 3.25% of the screen is wasted on a title bar when fullscreened! This is even after I have reduced font sizes etc. The attached patch gets the window to hide the titlebar when maximized. This helps increase the available screen space for content of the terminal. It has no effect on a non-maximised window. Additionally, the precedent is set to follow this behaviour as this brings gnome-terminal inline with the behaviour of nautilus.

Created attachment 825070 [details] Apply hide-titlebar-when-maximised
We're trying to avoid the hide-titlebar setting nowadays - it was a quick fix early on, but it has considerable problems, starting with the fact that the close button disappears entirely, leaving many people unable to close that application. And no obvious way to unmaximize, leaving them unable to get the close button back... It is much better to redesign the application to use a header bar, which avoids these problems while still making the titlebar area available for application content.
