Unmaintained upstream Vue component 'vue-grid-layout'

[Lgt2x]

trame-grid-layout is one of the last Trame widgets that has not been ported to Vue3 yet.

The main reason is that the component trame-grid-layout is based on, vue-grid-layout is still not compatible with Vue3, and has not seen new commits in the main branch since 06/2023. vue-grid-layout has an unmaintained vue3 branch and npm package tag 3.0.0-beta-1, but the maintainer of the project also declared that they have no intention to port it to Vue3 as of 07/2023.

That said, I think we should either deprecate this Trame component or change the component used, to be compatible with Vue3. Some forks of vue-grid-layout have been created, among which:

• https://github.com/merfais/vue-grid-layout-v3 (active 12/2024, released on NPM)
• https://github.com/Noction/vue-draggable-grid (active 04/2024, released on NPM)
• https://github.com/gwinnem/vue-responsive-grid-layout (active 09/2024, released on NPM)
• https://github.com/xhlife/vue3-grid-layout (active 03/2024, no releases)

trame-golden-layout also presents similar features, despite not being based on an actively maintained project either.
