Format:
Notice that the display 1 is at a new location, but still partially occluded
by virtual display 2. Also, the cursor position has not changed, which does
happen when using
vms_smg.repaste_virtual_display().
MOVE_VIRTUAL_DISPLAY - Move Virtual Display
Moves a virtual display on the pasteboard, but keeps the pasting order. Use

to move the location and change the pasting order of the display within the
pasteboard.

pasteboard_id, pasteboard_row, pasteboard_column, \
[top_display_id])
