Fix crash when trying to split and float a dock container.

Since splitting a docking container was allowed and successful, the check
to prevent floating it fails to work. This causes a crash because the
workspace of the container cannot be determined as the dockarea is higher
up in the tree than the workspace it belongs to.

This patch extends to sanity check to nested dock containers when trying to
float a container and also disallows manually splitting a docked container
or changing its layout.
