default N-panel open for animation editors

The Graph, Driver, and Dopesheet's (and sub modes) properties panel
(N-Panel) are now open by default. This includes the editors in the
default Animation workspace.

Note that, because the Timeline is implemented as a special mode of the
Dopesheet, switching between Timeline and Dopesheet will *not* change
the visibility of the properties panel.
