Allow drag-to-side, but not drag-to-top in Ubuntu MATE (Marco)

However, I never use the similar feature that allows dragging a window to the top, and it often triggers when I just want to move a window upwards.

Now my windows can be dragged to the side for half-screen maximisation, but not to the top for full-screen!
