Dragging node noodle to edge of screen should pan viewport

Currently connecting nodes long distances is almost impossible. The only way to do it is to connect one to a "reroute," node, then move the reroute where you need it and make the connection.

It would be nice if there was an auto-pan, so when you drug the noodle next to the edge of the screen, it would start panning.

That, or enable middle mouse for panning while dragging a noodle

We need a way to mark posts like this for removal. Unless the new post goes into much greater detail that is at least slightly different from the older post, it should be removed. It would be very nice if the original author would remove it themselves once they've been directed to the earlier post.
