  Can't drag an app icon from Ubuntu Software Centre to the Launcher

Bug description:
  Watching a first time user using Ubuntu I noticed at min 12:50, that
  she tries to drag & drop the calculator icon to the launcher. It
  doesn't work, but I think it should.

  Being able to add programs to the launcher in different ways improves
  the UX for average users. For them an icon represents a program and
  being able to D&D it to the launcher is logical. Therefore this
  feature should be added.

  <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#software-item-dragging>: "A
  software item should be draggable, wherever in USC it appears — on the
  home screen, in any other tile view, in a list view, or (for its icon
  only) in the software item screen itself. If you drag an item to the
  Launcher, then..."

  
  Desired resolution:

  1. Allow users to drag and drop app icons from the Software Centre to
  the Launcher.

  - If the app is already installed but not pinned to the Launcher, this
  action pins the app icon to the Launcher.

  - If the app is zero cost ($0) not yet installed, it is installed and
  pinned to the Launcher in the same manner that apps can be installed
  by dragging and dropping from the App Lens to the Launcher.

  - If the app is a paid app, the user is taken to the purchase page in
  the Software Centre. When purchase is complete the app is pinned to
  the Launcher.

  2. Dragging a item which is not a app (e.g. a pdf or a system liberty)
  does nothing.    The Launcher should signal this to user by dimming;
  exactly the same interaction that happens currently if the user tries
  to drag a file from Nautilus to which has no valid drop targets in the
  launcher.

  3. In all other ways, this interaction should be exactly the same as
  the interaction a user experiences when dragging a app icon to the
  Launcher from the Dash.
