Dragging a terminal tab within the same Terminals view now reorders it to the drop position, matching the drag-to-reorder behavior of editor and view tabs. The drop within the same view was previously rejected. The reorder uses the new CTabFolder.moveItem(int, int) API, so the live terminal control stays attached and no longer has to be recreated. The existing cross-view move (which transfers a terminal to a different Terminals view) is unchanged, as it still requires re-parenting. Requires SWT 3.135. Fixes eclipse-platform#2679

Dragging a terminal tab within the same Terminals view now reorders it to the drop position, the same way editor and view tabs can be rearranged.
Previously a drop inside the originating view was rejected, so tabs could only be moved to a different Terminals view.
The reorder relies on the new
CTabFolder.moveItem(int, int)API (SWT 3.135, eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.swt#3350), which keeps the live terminal control attached instead of recreating it.The existing cross-view move is left untouched because transferring a terminal to a different view still requires re-parenting.
Draft because it depends on SWT 3.135, which is not yet in the platform target platform, so CI cannot build it until that lands.
Fixes #2679
