Created by Jeremy Wootten on 2015-11-08 and last modified on 2016-04-21

This branch addresses some issues around window creation.

1) Implement forming new windows by dragging tabs out of the window. The window is created where dropped.
2) When new windows are created using the keyboard, via Plank or via Terminal, the new window is not created on top of the existing one (which could confuse). Instead the existing Files windows on the monitor are rearranged to make space (if necessary) and the new window added. At the moment a grid arrangement is used but this could be changed.
3) A limit is put on the rate of window creation using the keyboard (Ctrl-N).
4) Only one function in Application is now allowed to create windows.
