Description

With only one Artboard dragging and dropping a layer on the empty space below the stack could move them to the bottom. Right now this is only possible with Artboards.

Research direction
Examine the drag and drop logic for layers in the Graphite codebase, likely in the frontend layer panel module. The issue mentions similar behavior already exists for artboards, so study how artboard drag to bottom works and adapt it for layers when only one artboard is present. Check the comments on the issue for any additional context or suggested implementation details. Look at files related to layer manipulation, possibly in the document or canvas interaction code.
