"Undock" Legend panel

I'd like to propose the idea of being able to undock the
legend panel and getting it as an independent window, which could be even sent to another Desk. In this way the area for the geographic display could be enlarged. Also, in general, we should consider that many (most?) users will have 2 monitors and I've personally found handy having one of them just devoted to the geographic display. Also, It would be useful if the grass tools window could be sent to a different Desk. Currently, if you send the grass tools window to another Desk, everything goes to that desk.

Hi Agus,
This is something I've recently been experimenting with. Attached is a patch which modifies the legend and overview panes to be QDockWidgets. They can be undocked or docked left or right; there is also an entry on the View menu if they get lost. This patch does not correctly resize the map content when (un)docking occurs. I will fix these details next if others like this proposal.

It's being most useful, in particular when working on the laptop:
the geographic display was too small if the legend was docked. The only thing that I would add is the ability to send the undocked panel to another workspace (I get no menu at right button click). It's not a big problem, because currently sending the main window to another panel is possible. Thanks!
