Subject: [PATCH] Make play-from marker draggable left and right in editor
 timeline

Previously clicking the header set the marker but you couldn't drag it.
Now click-and-drag in the header moves the marker freely in both
directions. Auto-scrolls when dragging near canvas edges so you can
drag the marker past the visible area back toward the beginning.
