The admin panel becomes a side panel like Settings (#1675): it docks under the top buttons, the pin floats it, and the X and the top button close it.

• Built with Gui.add_panel (frameless, as wide as its page): the page buttons on the left and the page on the right, as before.
• It no longer becomes player.opened, so Escape doesn't close it any more. Closing it, by the X or the top button, still raises on_admin_gui_closed, so the moderation guide's windows close with it.
• The moderation guide's windows open beside the panel when it floats, and in the middle of the screen when it is docked. Beside it, their offset was in pixels, so at a UI scale of 200% they overlapped the panel (on develop too); it is now in GUI pixels.
• The test that it opens on its first page finds the panel docked or floating.

Docked, a panel can be no taller than the column under the top buttons: past it, the game cuts the column off with a scroll bar of its own. The Players page is about 35 px too tall for it at 1080p, so docked it gets that scroll bar (1_docked_players); the other pages open whole. Floating, the panel is as tall as its page. Kick & ban stays on the Players page with the other admin actions.

Tests

• In a client: it opens docked on its first page, every page opens docked (Players, Map, Lua console), ticking a reason or flipping the online/offline switch redraws the Players page in place, the pin floats it, every page works floating too, the guide's windows open docked and floating, and the X closes it.

I'm okay to making Admin panel a panel type. I'm not okay with moving some admin actions to a separate page.

there's some restriction on the height apparently and you'll get a scroll bar instead if you don't move them

Put it back in d2903c5; docked, the Players page gets the game's column scroll bar at 1080p, floating it's fine.

If floating window doesn't get the scrollbar & fits whole, I think the docked version too should override the max height: since floating window would be sitting in the middle of the screen, if there is enough space for it, there should be enough space even if panel is docked of the upper left, correct?
