fix: resolve group activation and panel content visibility after tab header space drag (#991)

Fixes GitHub issue #991 where dragging tab header space (empty area) to different
positions caused panel content to disappear and groups to become inactive.

## Changes

**Core Fix (3 minimal changes):**
- Fix panel activation logic to ensure first/active panels render correctly
- Restore group activation for center case moves (root drop to edge zones)
- Fix group activation for non-center moves using correct target group

**Comprehensive Test Suite:**
- Added 5 targeted tests validating the fix for various scenarios
- Tests cover single/multi-panel groups, center/non-center moves, and skipSetActive
- Ensures both panel content rendering and group activation work correctly

## Technical Details

The root cause was in `moveGroup()` method where:
1. Panel content disappeared due to incorrect `skipSetActive: true` for all panels
2. Groups became inactive due to activation calls inside `movingLock()`
3. Non-center moves failed activation when source group was destroyed

**Fixed in dockviewComponent.ts:**
- `skipSetActive: panel \!== activePanel` - ensures active panel renders (line 2347)
- `doSetGroupAndPanelActive(to)` - activates target group for center moves (line 2354)
- `const targetGroup = to ?? from` - uses correct group for non-center activation (line 2485)
