Dragging with the left button held now extends the selection from the pressed line, exactly like moving with shift+up/down does. We use the non-sticky flavor so that the range collapses on the next plain cursor movement, again matching the keyboard behavior. The binding is only registered for contexts that support range selection in the first place; dragging in other lists continues to do nothing.
Give the list views the same edge autoscroll during drag selection that the staging view already has; the new mouse-release binding stops the autoscroll when the drag ends.

Like in the staging view, drag with the mouse in a list view to create a non-sticky range selection (including auto-scrolling as the mouse reaches the view edge).
