Hide "Explore repositories" sidebar as part of `clean-dashboard`

See original GitHub issue

Concerned URL: https://github.com (the dashboard)

I find the “Explore repositories” section on the dashboard very distracting, and mostly useless since there’s already an “Explore” link in the header of every page. Plus it takes quite a bit of horizontal space away from the “Recent activity” section which is arguably the most useful part of the dashboard.

I think this section could be hidden as part of the clean-dashboard feature (which #3817 makes possible to disable).

@cheap-glitch If it bothers you so much, you can apply the following CSS in Refined GitHub’s Custom CSS option:

aside[aria-label="Explore"] > :not(:first-child) {
	/* The first child is an empty div that likely displays GitHub's announcements */
	display: none !important;
}

I’d also vote against including this in Refined GitHub natively, as it just creates more empty space without use, and I like the suggestions there. I rarely ever visit the “Explore” page explicitly.

I happen to like it. I actually used something it suggested recently.

I am not saying no, just stating my opinion. I am also bias here since a have a 27" screen so there is plenty of room there.
