  [design] [Launcher] Make it easier to remove an item from launcher

Bug description:
  User testing revealed that users expected that icon could be removed
  from the launcher by longpressing an item and dragging it out of the
  launcher.

  One option would be having a trash bin appearing at the bottom of the
  Launcher (in the place normally occupied by the BFB) when a user drags
  and app icon off he launcher (or enters an edit mode to organize
  icons). The problem with this is that because user can also relocate
  an item in this mode dragging an item down to a trash bin causes item
  to go through all  different dropping positions in the actual launcher
  as well.

  Therefore one possible option would be placing the thrash bin outside
  the launcher next to the item in question.
