LGUG2Z 2560ee6364 feat(resize): cover the windows that a drag resizes with a picture of them ...

Resizing the tiles next to the edge of a window that is dragged lays out every window
that is not the one dragged again at every frame. A window that has to lay itself out
at a new size has nothing to show for a frame, a terminal that renders through a swap
chain is not there at all and the wallpaper shows through where it was, and one that is
slow to take a move, which File Explorer is, is seen at every size that it is on the
way through. A recording of a drag shows whole terminals gone for a frame, and
Explorer windows drawn twice, each of them at two sizes.

With ghost movement, the first time a step has to resize a window a picture of it is
taken before it is touched and put over it, the window is cloaked and its border is left
to the picture. Every step moves the picture, and the border with it, to where the window
is to be, with one call to DWM, and sends the window nowhere: the window is where it
was, hidden. When the end of the drag has laid the workspace out, each of the windows
that were covered is put, on a thread of its own, where the last step put its picture, made
to paint itself, given the size change that a swap chain needs to be built again, and
shown, and its picture fades out over it, as for a move that is animated.

A new drag, before that, puts them where they were to go and shows them at once. The look
at the windows after a drag leaves covered ones to this, and a window that is hidden by its
workspace is not shown by it. Every step traces where the picture is to go and what part
of it is shown there, and a picture that could not be moved says so at debug level.
