Description

### Description of the new feature / enhancement

When you drag a window the normal way to the top of the screen, you have the option to maximize it. Grab and Move doesn't support this. My suggestion is for Grab and Move to support this functionality.

### Scenario when this would be used?

It would make Grab and Move behave more like the traditional way of moving a window.

### Supporting information

Research direction

Start by locating the Grab and Move implementation and its window-drag handling. Compare its top-edge behavior with the traditional window move path, then verify that dragging a window to the top offers maximization without regressing existing Grab and Move behavior.
