fix #356,add offset option for the dock

-this patch provides the offset variable for
our qml side... The offset feature is not complete
the following are missing:
-expose offset at the dockview
-use offset in !compositing state
-update borders by taking into account the offset also
-update the automatic-positioning to take into account
the offset also
