Add flip option to right click menu for toolbar / sidebar

Right now flip operator is only available in right click menu for headers:

However if you bind it to hotkey it actually works on toolbar / sidebar too so you can flip them around:

This shouldn't be a hidden functionality, there are cases where having tools close to properties allows for more compact layouts.

This is absolutely the first thing I wanted after opening blender. It seems like Blender has been design for left-handers, which is fine, but at least give normies an option :)

Yeap. If dont used 2.79> you would know about that feature of "screen.region_flip". And it is useful sometimes to flip those pannels.
