Attachment: work in progress

This is a simple implementation to show and test how this could work, by supporting a fixed="true" attribute for panels.

Windows: works OK. The panel is adjusted when the window moves.
Mac: partially works, but Cocoa only sends window move events when the user stops moving the window. I don't know if there is a way to get all events.

There are still some issues, but this gives an idea:

1. This needs to also occur when resizing a window.
2. When moving the window to the bottom of the screen, the popup flips up to be above the anchor, as it would do when calculating its initial position.
3. Need to prevent the popup from moving when fixed="true" is not set
