[Ranking] Option to override default placeholder text

[GER-Jani]

Are you requesting a feature, reporting a bug or asking a question?

Feature

What is the current behavior?

There is no option to adapt placeholder text ("Drag and drop choices here to rank them")

What is the expected behavior?

A field in the SurveyJS designer or accepted property in JSON format to override the default placeholder text (e. g. override to "Drag and drop intuitively")

How would you reproduce the current behavior (if this is a bug)?

Provide the test code and the tested page URL (if applicable)

@GER-Jani Please use "selectToRankEmptyUnrankedAreaText" and "selectToRankEmptyRankedAreaText" properties to setup these strings.

UPDATED: They are not serialized. You have to set them in the code.

Thank you,
Andrew

@RomanTsukanov please add documentation for these properties. We missed them.
@dmitrykurmanov We need to make them serializable.

Thank you,
Andrew

I've added descriptions for these properties to the documenation: 541d992. As for Survey Creator, I think it's time to create a category for "select to rank"-related properties.
