Description
### Problem
This was mentioned in https://github.com/elementary/gala/pull/2881#issuecomment-5342959829
### Proposal
Movable osk like a normal window.
I'm not sure this is really needed but I'll open this for discussion.
I personally prefer the docked osk by a lot. But I also know that windows and I think also ipados (?) has a mode where the osk is movable.
However the only case I can think of where this might have advantages is if you have a very large screen maybe like a whiteboard.
### Prior Art (Optional)

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points; start by reviewing the discussion in PR #2881 and the existing docked OSK behavior. Clarify whether movable mode is required and how it should be enabled, positioned, and tested before implementation. Done means the agreed movable-OSK behavior works without regressing the docked mode.
