tabGroups.onMoved
Fires when a tab group is moved within a window or to another window. tabs.onMoved also fire for the tabs within the group.
The event is passed a tabGroups.TabGroup object. This includes the windowId but not the position of the tab group. To determine the position of the tab group, use tabs.query() with the groupId, and read the index property of the returned tab.
In Chrome, this event doesn't fire when a tab group is moved between windows; instead, the group is removed from one window and created in another (firing tabGroups.onRemoved and tabGroups.onCreated.
