 Fix and improve arranging of postboxes/metaboxes:
 - Enable arranging only when the Screen Options tab is open.
 - Prevent accidental/unintended dragging. Seen it happen mostly on laptops
 when using the mousepad/trackpad.
 - Improve discoverability and usefulness by always showing the "drop
 zones" outline when postboxes are draggable/arrangeable.
 - Add some (brief) explanation to the Screen Options tab helping the user
 understand what options are available and how to change them. This is
 especially helpful for screen reader users to give an idea how to use the
 screen options and what to expect.
 - Fix/enhance some of the code in `postbox.js` and make it coding
 standards compliant.

 See #50699.
