Support discretization when lhs/rhs equal to zero #3

Description

@akashkgarg

When the equation is setup like so:

Dt(u(x,t)) + u(x,t)*Dx(u(x,t)) + α*Dx2(u(x,t)) + β*Dx3(u(x,t)) + γ*Dx4(u(x,t)) ~ 0

an InvalidSystemException is thrown:

ERROR: InvalidSystemException: The derivative variable must be isolated to the left-hand side of the equation like `Differential(t)(u₂(t)) ~ ...`.
 Got 0 ~ 137.50000000000009u₃(t) - (96.87499999999991u₂(t)) - (33.3333333333334u₄(t)) - (7.2916666666667105u₅(t)) - Differential(t)(u₂(t)) - (u₂(t)*(3.750000000000008u₃(t) + 0.20833333333333368u₅(t) + 0.2499999999999997(sech(5.0 + t)^2)*(3tanh(5.0 + t) - 1)*(7.5 + 7.5tanh(5.0 + t)) - (2.7083333333333344u₂(t)) - (1.250000000000007u₄(t)))) - (19.583333333333307(sech(5.0 + t)^2)*(3tanh(5.0 + t) - 1)*(7.5 + 7.5tanh(5.0 + t))).   

The current work around is re-writing the equation as:

Dt(u(x,t)) ~ -u(x,t)*Dx(u(x,t)) - α*Dx2(u(x,t)) - β*Dx3(u(x,t)) - γ*Dx4(u(x,t))

Here is the full script to reproduce:

    using ModelingToolkit,DiffEqOperators,LinearAlgebra,OrdinaryDiffEq

    @parameters x, t
    @variables u(..)
    Dt = Differential(t)
    Dx = Differential(x)
    Dx2 = Differential(x)^2
    Dx3 = Differential(x)^3
    Dx4 = Differential(x)^4

    α = 1
    β = 4
    γ = 1
    eq = Dt(u(x,t)) + u(x,t)*Dx(u(x,t)) + α*Dx2(u(x,t)) + β*Dx3(u(x,t)) + γ*Dx4(u(x,t)) ~ 0

    du(x,t;z = -x/2+t) = 15/2*(tanh(z) + 1)*(3*tanh(z) - 1)*sech(z)^2

    bcs = [u(x,0) ~ u_analytic(x,0),
           Dx(u(-10,t)) ~ du(-10,t),
           Dx(u(10,t)) ~ du(10,t)]

    # Space and time domains
    domains = [x  IntervalDomain(-10.0,10.0),
               t  IntervalDomain(0.0,0.5)]
    # Discretization
    dx = 0.4; dt = 0.2

    discretization = MOLFiniteDifference([x=>dx],t;centered_order=4)
    pdesys = PDESystem(eq,bcs,domains,[x,t],[u(x,t)])
    prob = discretize(pdesys,discretization) # <-- fails here.
