Adds a dedicated tool for moving tile selections to a new location. - Shortcut: V (standard move tool shortcut) - Drag to move selected tiles - Alt+drag to duplicate instead of move - Escape or right-click to cancel mid-drag - Undo restores both tiles and selection position The tool uses a floating selection visualization with marching ants animation during the drag operation. The move is committed as a single undo command when released. New files: - tilemovetool.h/cpp - Tool implementation - floatingtileselectionitem.h/cpp - Drag visualization - movetiles.h/cpp - Undo command

While looking to see if there was any prior work on this, I saw #1647 and did my best to incorporate the feedback there.
The tool uses a floating selection visualization with a marching ants animation during the drag operation. The move is committed as a single command to the undo stack when released.

Personally I'd kind of like the move tool to be able to create/update the selection without switching to a different tool, but this felt most closely aligned with how the other tools already worked.
If you have any feedback about how it should work, please let me know and I'd be happy to make adjustments; this was just my first pass. If you'd prefer not to add it, I understand but this was to scratch my own itch first and foremost 😁
