Description of the new feature/enhancement

As a user with multiple tabs opened in Windows Terminal
When I click and drag one tab to an area clear of Windows Terminal
I want the tab to open in a new instance of Windows Terminal
So that I can see both terminals side by side

Currently, in web browsers, we have the ability to grab a tab from a browser window which has multiple tabs opened, and drag it which then puts the tab that has been 'lifted' into its own browser window - this functionality doesn't appear to be currently available in Windows Terminal.

Similarly - if I have spilt tabs into 2 windows, being able to re-merge them would also be good :)
