Splitscreen and options on window menu <Enhancement> #74

Description

@cheapy

A user asked to be able to split the screen (ie resize and move current window) to fill half the screen using the mouse, rather than the keyboard to do it. Others chimed in that the current keyboard shortcuts are difficult and wanted me to ask you for something usable via mouse.

Perhaps a "Splitscreen" option could go on the window menu, maybe between Move and Size, since it does both, and it could be a pulldown menu with a Half screen section with 5 options, for Left, Right, Top, Bottom and Center. It could also have a Quarter screen section with 5 options for Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Left, Bottom Right, and Center.

As always, thanks for a great program. This has always been my favorite window manager. Efficient workflows are a thing of timeless beauty, that pay back every day.

PS: This could also be done with "Quarterscreen" and "Halfscreen" options separate instead of calling it "Splitscreen". That would be easy for people to understand, less ambiguous than "Splitscreen" which was the wording used by the requester.
