Tabs component: need ability to scroll to the selected tab

When the Tabs component has a long list of tabs inside and the page is first rendered with a selected tab, the selected tab may not be shown. The user has to press the < or > arrows to look for the selected tab.

I am using carbon-components 10.20.0 and carbon-components-react 7.20.0.

I think it will cause usability issue from end users.
