Vertical Tabs

PR by @nor0x (Joachim Leonfellner).

You can now change the orientation of the tabs to achieve vertical tabs.
It could be pretty convenient for landscape or tablet layout.

<sho:TabHostView x:Name="TabHostLogo"  
    Grid.Row="3"
    WidthRequest="200"
    HeightRequest="60"
    Margin="15"
    Padding="20,0"
    HorizontalOptions="Center"
    VerticalOptions="Start"
    BackgroundColor="{DynamicResource DynamicBottomBarBackground}"
    CornerRadius="30"
    IsSegmented="True"
    Orientation="Horizontal"
    Shades="{DynamicResource DynamicBottomTabsShadow}"
    TabType="Fixed">

You can find in the silly app (https://github.com/roubachof/Xamarin-Forms-Practices/blob/master/SillyCompany.Mobile.Practices/Presentation/Views/TabsLayout/SillyBottomTabsPage.xaml.cs) an example of dynamically adapting tabs orientation while switching from portrait to landscape:

HorizontalListView runtime drag and drop animations

EnableDragAndDrop is now a bindable property, so you can enable it at runtime.

You can now also specify a custom animation when the EnableDragAndDrop is set to ture:

HorizontalListView.DragAndDropEnabledAnimationAsync = async (viewCell, token) =>  
{
    while (!token.IsCancellationRequested)
    {
        await viewCell.View.RotateTo(8);
        await viewCell.View.RotateTo(-8);
    }

    await viewCell.View.RotateTo(0);
};

will result in:

You can decide to start the drag without long press on iOS thanks to the iOS specific property iOSDragAndDropOnPanGesture:

<sho:HorizontalListView  
    ...
    iOSDragAndDropOnPanGesture="True" />
