[MlMt] Add “Preview at Left” layout option

It would also be useful to have a fourth option: “Preview Only” that 
displays *only* the preview window, instead of the composer. When this 
option is enabled, and Preview is togged on, the composer window will 
disappear (i.e., hidden below the preview).

This would actually be ideal for me: I toggle on Preview to see if my 
markdown renders as expected, then send. Or, toggle back to Compose mode 
to edit further.

Thanks,
Quinn
