New functionality added to Odoo
Website editors can now switch many column-based building blocks into a grid layout, making it easier to move, resize, overlap, and layer content visually. This gives business users more creative control when designing pages while preserving mobile-friendly behavior.

This commit adds the possibility to use a grid to move and resize columns inside some building blocks. More precisely, for the majority of the building blocks having columns, it is now possible to toggle between the current layout (= normal mode) and the grid layout (= grid mode). The grid mode can be triggered in two ways: - by using the "Grid" button in the options (when available), - by dragging a column using the move handle. The toggle places the different columns in the grid as close as possible as how they were placed in normal mode. The normal mode is toggled back by clicking on the "Cols" button (when available). Since the move handle is now used to trigger the grid mode, the columns in normal mode are now moved using the arrows. NB: to avoid any confusion with the word 'column' in the explanation below, the BS column will be called 'grid item' and the grid column will be 'column'. When in grid mode, the building block is a grid with 12 columns and a number of rows which depends on the height of the grid items. This mode offers the following functionalities: - Moving a grid item: When a grid item is dragged, it can be placed anywhere in the grid. If it is dragged towards the bottom, new rows are added in the grid to increase its height and to place the grid item lower. These added rows are removed when it is dragged towards the top. A grid item can also be placed over an other item (-> they can overlap) and their order can be changed using the two new buttons to place an item in front of/behind all the others. A grid item can be moved from a grid to another, and also from a grid to a building block in normal mode. - Resizing a grid item: A grid item can be resized vertically, horizontally and diagonally with the help of the grid. When resized towards the bottom, new rows are added in the grid and they are removed if it is towards the top (like with the drag and drop). - Adding elements: The "Add Elements" option allows the user to add as many images, text blocks or buttons as wanted in the grid. Inner contents can still be dragged and dropped inside a grid item. - Changing the padding of the grid items: The padding option allows to change the vertical/horizontal padding of all the grid items at the same time. - Mobile view: When in mobile view, the grid items are not in a grid anymore (the display is back to flex) but they keep their grid properties. They cannot be resized, nor dragged and dropped but they can be moved using the arrows. By moving this way, it does not impact the desktop view. task-2825241
