TLazControlDocker uses anchor docking. That means, it does not use Align
like the Delphi docking, but the AnchorSide properties. This makes it more
flexible and does not use a tree structure, which the user can't see.

The missing part is the saving and restoring of the dock layout. For example
when the user hides some window and shows one again, it should restore the
position (or at least something similar).
