Libraries panel: art and colours dragged in are added where they are dropped
Art dragged off the canvas and colours dragged in from elsewhere (swatches, another library's) used to be added at the end of the ungrouped items, wherever they were dropped. They now land as items dragged within the list do: on another item of their kind, just before or after it by the pointer's half and in its group; on a group, into it; away from the items, ungrouped at the end as before. library.add takes group and before/after, placed as library.moveItem places an item (the placement is shared). A library change that fails partway now leaves the library as it was.
