Open assemblies from Windows Explorer drag-drop

ProDataGrid's row-drag pipeline only sees in-grid drags, so external
file drops bypass it entirely. Wires Avalonia's standard DragDrop
pipeline alongside it: DragDrop.AllowDrop on the tree DataGrid plus
DragOver / Drop handlers that read DataFormat.File from the
IDataTransfer, resolve each IStorageItem to a local path, and route
through AssemblyListPane.HandleFileDrop.
