gala Reveal the dock from any display

Prerequisites

[x] I have searched open and closed issues for duplicates.

Feature

Plank should be able be called on any display.

Describe the solution you'd like If plank is set to be always visible then it should be visible on main display and external displays, if it is set to auto hide then by just moving pointer to the bottom plank should appear.

Existing work macOS has some good example of how it should be handled.

Describe alternatives you've considered If plank is not able to "know" in witch display is been called, then just mirror the behaviour, if set to auto hide, then when moving pointer to the bottom should appear on all the displays.

Additional context Working on multiple display is great, so not having the dock is frustrating if what to quickly change app.

@cassidyjames @danrabbit maybe a fix for version 6?

I think this is worth a bounty - I would give some money when someone implements this and it is added to elementaryOS - is there a bounty program for elementaryOS?

Just noting on behalf of @elementary/ux that we have previous discussed and agreed with the behavior of "unhiding" from any display to move the dock to that display

Transferring to Gala since I believe that it's now in control of which display the dock appears on
