Improved CDockAreaTabBar::wheelEvent to use pixelDelta() if available (i.e. on Mac) and fall back to angleDelta() if not

This fix seems to have introduced a regression when _this is deleted before the lambda slot occurred, for example deleting the DockManager (and consequently _this) immediately after the execution of updateTabs function (we encountered this problem in linux)

 the library switches to `QWidget` based title bars.

+### `AutoHideOpenOnDragHover`
+
+If this flag is set (disabled by default), then holding a dragging cursor hover an auto-hide collapsed dock's tab will open said dock:
+
+![AutoHideOpenOnDragHover](cfg_flag_AutoHideOpenOnDragHover.gif)
+
+Said dock must be set to accept drops to hide when cursor leaves its scope. See `AutoHideDragNDropExample` for more details.
