refs #312 navigation bars, contributes also to #347

* allow to set/unset frameless mode in CDockWidget * adjusted context menus * adjusted style sheets * ini settings for margins * hidden info area to host floating widgets only visible when floating (allows to CDockInfoArea widgets) * made some private slots non-virtual
