A possible solution to Body dock problems

[Edward K. Ream]

#1206 suggests that dragging any dock onto the Body dock should always split the Body dock, rather than tabbing the Body dock.

This can probably be done by creating drag-and-drop handlers for QDockWidgets which will then call QMainWindow.splitDockWidget.  I'll attempt this later today.

Alas, this looks impossible.  According to Qt discussions, QMainWindow manages drag and drop of QDockWidgets using specialized code. So overriding dragEnterEvent and dropEvent does not work. Boo hoo.

I have closed #1206 because it looks impossible.
