Adds the ability to use the OS-defined modifier key (usually Alt on Windows and Option on Mac) to toggle between the default drop behavior and the opposite behavior. So if dragging within the same actor this changes from the default move behaior to copy behavior and the opposite when dragging between different actors or to the sidebar. Enabling this required access to the current drag payload during the `ondragover` event, so this extends the `DragDrop` class provided by core to store that information during the `ondragstart` event and adds a new handler for the `ondragend` event to clear the stored payload. Currently this only covers dragging items, with some minor improvements to dragging favorites on the character sheet. This framework could be expanded in the future to support dragging actors into the bastion tab as well as dragging active effects, advancements, or activities. Closes #4876

Currently the drag & drop behavior in the system varies depending on where you are dragging to and from:
Actor Inventory -> Another Actor: Copy
Actor Inventory -> Container on Actor: Move
Sidebar -> Actor Inventory: Copy
Sidebar -> Container in Sidebar: Move
Compendium -> Anywhere Else: Copy
Compendium -> Container in Compendium: Move
While these default behaviors should be retained, it would be very nice to be able to toggle to the opposite mode when dragging. This would involve holding down a certain keyboard modifier much like you would in a file browser on your computer. This should also involve changing the drag cursor to make it clear whether a drag will result in a copy or a move operation.
