fix: disable Tauri native drag-drop to unblock HTML5 DnD (tabs, blocks)

Root cause: Tauri's dragDropEnabled (default: true) intercepts drag events
at the webview level, preventing HTML5 DnD from working for tab reorder
and BlockNote block handle drag. Setting dragDropEnabled: false lets all
drag events flow through the standard DOM API.

Image drops now use the HTML5 drop handler + uploadImageFile (same as
paste-upload) instead of Tauri's onDragDropEvent + copyImageToVault.
Removed the useInternalDragFlag workaround and padding hack.
