Patch to allow users to drop files onto SDL windows in OS X

SDL's Cocoa code currently triggers SDL_DROPFILE events when the user drops a file onto the application's icon, but another idiomatic way for OS X users to drag-and-drop files is to put the file directly inside the window's frame.

I have attached a patch which adds that functionality to SDL's Cocoa video backend.

The previous patch didn't handle OS X alias files. I've attached a new updated patch which does.

Just using [isAlias boolValue] is cleaner -- calling any method on nil returns nil, which is a false value.

Other than that, it LGTM. I can merge and make that change.
