Add new drop mode ON_GRID for GridDropTarget (#10296)
* Add new drop mode ON_GRID for GridDropTarget Also adds a way to not accept drops on rows when the user has sorted the grid. This way the bad UX can be avoided for showing the drop indicator for the wrong place when the grid has been sorted. This has not been made default behavior to GridDropTarget since it would change behavior compared to 8.1. Instead if is triggerable via API in GridDropTarget. * Refactor sorted grid drop logic to server side * Block setDropMode calls Blocking setDropMode set values if the grid has been sorted and drop on sorted rows is not allowed. The value is used once the grid is not sorted anymore or the drops are allowed on sorted rows.

To make a Grid component's rows accept a drop event, apply the [classname]#GridDropTarget# extension to the component. When creating the extension, you need to specify where the transferred data can be dropped on.
+[NOTE]
+====
+Since 8.2, there is an option to make the grid not accept drops on rows if the grid has been sorted by the user. This is because the drop location might not be in the place that is shown to the users due to the sorting – and this can cause bad user experience. This is controlled with the method `setDropAllowedOnSortedGridRows` and is by default set to `true` to not change behavior in comparison to Framework version 8.1. When this is set to `false` and the user has sorted the grid, there will not be a target drop row for drops for the grid, and the indicator is always the same as with `DropMode.ON_GRID`.
+
+When the grid has been sorted, you should put the dropped data to the correct location (according to the sorting), and then scroll to the row where the dropped data ended up into and possibly also selecting it.

-The _drop mode_ specifies the behaviour of the row when an element is dragged over or dropped onto it. Use `DropMode.ON_TOP` when you want to drop elements on top of a row and `DropMode.BETWEEN` when you want to drop elements between rows. `DropMode_ON_TOP_OR_BETWEEN` allows to drop on between or top rows.

The [classname]#GridDropEvent# is fired when data is dropped onto one of the Grid's rows. The following example shows how you can insert items into the Grid at the drop position. If the drag source is another Grid, you can access the generated drag data with the event's [methodname]#getDataTransferText()# method.
If the drag source Grid uses a custom generator for a different type than `"text"`, you can access it's generated data using the [methodname]#getDataTransferData(type)# method. You can also check all the received data transfer data by fetching the type-to-data map with the [methodname]#getDataTransferData()# method.

When dropping on top of the grid's header or footer, the drop location will be `EMPTY` if there are no rows in the grid or if [classname]#DropMode.ON_TOP# was used. If there are rows in the grid, dropping on top of the header will set the drop location to `ABOVE` and the dropped row will be the first currently visible row in grid. Similarly, if dropping on top of the footer, the drop location will be `BELOW` and the dropped row will be the last visible row in the grid.
