Description

InsertControl - undocks AControl and docks it into the tree

It creates a new TDockZone for AControl and inserts it as a new leaf.
  It automatically changes the tree, so that the parent of the new TDockZone
  will have the Orientation for InsertAt.

  Example 1:

    A newly created TLazDockTree has only a DockSite (TLazDockForm) and a single
    TDockZone - the RootZone, which has as ChildControl the DockSite.
