Opening the panel from the Window menu worked, but collapsing the dock did not
show it: `ICON_PANELS` only registers a panel (so `window.panel` finds it) while
`ICON_PANEL_GROUPS` is what the collapsed column actually draws, and `variables`
was in the first list only. Sixteen panels are registered without a group; for
the ones meant to live in the column, the entry in `ICON_PANELS` alone is not
enough.
`variables` gets a row of its own at the bottom of the column, where the
reference app keeps it. Both lists now say which is which, so the next panel
does not repeat this, and a test asserts a registered panel reaches the column
(it fails without the group entry) and that every grouped id names a registered
panel with an icon.
`floating.rs`'s icon test counted the column's icons, which only means
"one left" while the column is tall enough to show them all — past that, one
scrolling into view replaces the one that left. It runs on a window tall enough
for every icon now, and checks the count is the number of registered groups'
icons rather than a number that happens to pass.
Dragging a panel into the icon column still doesn't work, and is not something
this PR changes: tearing a panel off makes it float, for every panel. Docking it
back into the column would be a dock feature of its own.

The Tabs panel's ruler was a fixed strip in the panel, at no relation to
the text on the canvas, so stops couldn't be placed by eye. Above Text
(Position Panel Above Text) floats the panel just above the selected
text, as wide as its ruler needs to put 0 on the text's left edge and
its marks at the canvas zoom: each stop sits over the column it sets.
Floating panel groups keep a width they are given.

Panels other than Properties, Layers and Libraries live in the dock's icon
column, not as tabs. Dragging one onto the dock lit up the whole dock, tabs
included, and the drop put it back as an icon, so it seemed to vanish. The
drop zone now lights up the icon column for such panels (the whole dock still
for the tabbed ones), and the dropped panel pops out of its icon.

Nothing could be undocked: the dock's tabs only switched panels, the icon
column only popped its panels out next to it, and only tool flyouts
(#437) could float.
- A dock tab, a panel icon or a popped-out panel's title dragged out of
the dock floats that panel inside the app window; the strip right of
the dock's tabs floats the whole Properties | Layers | Libraries group.
- A floating group moves by its title bar (or the strip right of its
tabs); a tab dragged out of it floats on its own; dropped on another
group's title bar or tabs it stacks with that group; dropped on the
dock, which lights up under the pointer, its panels go back where they
live in the dock (tabbed group or icon column). Its x does the same.
- The Tools panel floats by its title bar or grip and docks again on the
window's left edge, which lights up the same way.
- window.panel.float {panel, x?, y?, onto?, group?} and window.panel.dock
{panel, group?} (panel "tools" for the Tools panel) for the control
channel and MCP; every panel menu ends with Float Panel / Dock Panel;
window.panel on a floating panel shows its tab.
- Floating groups and the Tools panel's position are kept with the
preferences and in user workspaces (built-ins dock everything),
sanitized on load, and clamped into a smaller window when drawn.
- One move state in egui temp memory drives every drag, so a tab torn off
keeps following the pointer; per frame the work is a lookup per panel.
- Icon buttons can be drawn for a caller's response (paint_icon_button),
so the column's icons keep their ids when one above them floats.
