Allow Drag and Drop piece placement from the Jail Squares to board #88

When using the rules that let you place captured pieces on the board, we should allow the piece to be dragged from the jail to the board.

Under what circumstances do we want to allow this? Are you talking about even in normal chess when you promote a pawn that you can only take something out of jail to upgrade it?

I believe there are certain game types that let you put your captured pieces back on the board under certain circumstances. This would not apply for piece promotion though, since I believe promoting a piece just turns that piece into a new one.
