Add window snap presets like other major OSes

Project Member Reported by jkarcz@google.com, Nov 6

Issue description

Chrome Version: 69.0.3497.120 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Chrome OS Version: 10895.78.0 (Official Build) stable-channel eve
Chrome OS Platform: pixelbook
<b>Network info: <network, encryption type, router model (if known)></b>

Please specify Cr-* of the system to which this bug/feature applies (add
the label below).

Steps To Reproduce:
(1) Maximize a window
(2) Attempt to move the maximized window

Expected Result:

Window unmaximizes and moves.

Actual Result:

Window stays maximized and does not move.

How frequently does this problem reproduce? Always

What is the impact to the user, and is there a workaround? If so, what is
it?

Usability issue. Workaround is to manually unmaximize the window before moving.

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screen shot or
log if possible.

There are numerous conventions (at least given my Windows and Linux experience, Mac may be a different story) of window movability and snapping that are not honored, and it's an impediment to usability (especially with multiple monitors). Here's what I expect to be available when moving a window:

1. Move to top center of screen -> maximize
2. Move to left or right side of the screen (not in a corner) -> 1/2 screen snap
3. Move to any corner -> 1/4 screen snap
