Bug Description

Starting a drag currently causes the renderer to hang because we don't cancel the drag in Oxide. Whilst adding a stub to cancel the drag will fix the hang, we should eventually implement drag and drop support.

Note, this needs bug 1536797 to be fixed.

One issue we're going to have with this is that we won't be able to run the webview compositor during a drag operation (as the nested QEventLoop won't be able to run Chromium task queue). It means that the webview will appear frozen during a drag and drop. I'm not sure how we can fix that.

Actually, we might be able to use MessageLoop::ScopedNestableTaskAllower before calling QDrag::exec. Let me evaluate that case in the other bug as well.
