Subject: [PATCH 2/3] Fix managed TitleBar affecting control placement: offset
 DisplayRectangle by title bar height

When using a managed TitleBar, the title bar area was considered part of the
client area, causing controls placed at (0, 0) to appear under the title bar.

Changes:
- ControlAdapter: Override DisplayRectangle to offset by visible title bar height
- ControlAdapter: Override OnLayout to manually position title bar at full width
- Form: Set TitleBar.Dock = None so it doesn't participate in normal layout flow

Subject: [PATCH 3/3] Fix non-docked controls also offset by title bar height

After layout runs, offset ALL non-titlebar controls by the title bar height,
not just docked/anchored ones. This ensures controls with Dock=None and
absolute positioning (e.g. Top=55) are also placed below the managed title bar.
