Done!  The speed stays constant right now, which I think is fine.  If
people want more control they can use the shuttle.

I realized that when dragging all future clips, we should also move
all future Markers including the End marker.

Another possibility would be to instead create a separate command that
acts not on a clip but on the Sheet.  It would move everything in the
sheet that is after the starting mouse position.  (Just Clip starting
positions and Markers I think...  Not clip ends.)  It would sort of be
like inserting or removing time from the Sheet at that position.
(Hmmm...  should it move all clips with start times after the mouse,
or with end times after the mouse?)

I'm thinking that this might make more sense than further overloading
the Drag Clip command...

Fixed!  I think the code is now more correct (initiallizes ReadBuffer
with m_needSync = 1 instead of 0.)
