Photoshop's layer-based copy (CC 2018 on) copies the active layer whole
when there is no selection. Edit > Copy always lifted the layer's pixels,
so Paste made a raster layer from a smart object. Copy now also keeps the
smart object layer on the clipboard (with its pixels for Paste Into,
masks, channels and other apps). Paste recreates it with contents of its
own, converted to the destination's colour and depth and placed as the
pixels would be. With a selection, Copy still takes pixels.
The colour/depth/contents-id handling of layer.copyToDocument moves into
shared helpers (adapt_copies, translate_copies) used by both.

* Drag layers onto another document's tab to copy them there (#589)
New engine command layer.copyToDocument copies layers into another
open document as one history step there, converting them to the
destination's colour profile and bit depth, and places them at the
same canvas position, centred, on a point, or at an offset.
In the UI, dragging layers from the Layers panel or with the Move tool
onto another document's tab shows that document (spring-loaded tabs),
and releasing over its canvas drops the copies under the pointer;
Shift keeps the position for same-size documents and centres them
otherwise, as in Photoshop.

* Tab labels: keep #832's full-title label on Photoshop-style tabs; the layer_transfer tests find a tab by it
