Drag cards out into columns, and columns among and into columns

The user wants to drag a card out between columns to make a new column,
and to drag columns to reorder them or put them inside other columns.

Their pick for where: the row of titles, the gaps between columns and
the space past the last one are among the columns. Something dragged
there becomes a column, before the column under the mouse on its left
half and after it on its right half, after the one to the left in a gap.
Anywhere else it goes into the column under the mouse by the card rules,
so a column dragged down into another one becomes a card, its own cards
its block. A column's title no longer means "its first card"; the top
half of its first card does that. The root's column stays first and
can't be dragged (the user's pick): it says so.

The board holds still around a drag. Besides the kept widths, the room a
dragged column took stays empty while it isn't a column (Drag.room):
without it, the columns to its right slid left under the mouse each
time it stopped being one, and the card landed a column too far.
Dropping it back in that room makes it that column again.
