1498718969 Add a floating mode with titlebars to the workspace layout cycle (#14482 )

* Let the workspace layout test's Lua assertions fail the suite

Lua 5.5's standalone interpreter exits 0 when the script that raised the error came in on stdin, and exits 1 for the same error in a script file. The block here was piped in through a heredoc, so every assertion in it reported as passing however wrong the value was: changing the expected layout to one the toggle never writes still left the file green.

* Add a floating mode to the workspace layout cycle

Super + L cycled a workspace between dwindle and scrolling. It now carries on into floating, where every window on the workspace floats.

Floating cannot be a third `layout` on the workspace rule. Hyprland has no layout by that name and accepts one anyway: `hl.workspace_rule({ layout = "floating" })` returns ok and silently leaves the workspace on dwindle, exactly as a misspelt name does. So the mode floats the windows themselves, through the same `float` dispatcher SUPER + T uses.

Ending the mode has to tile the windows the mode floated and only those, so each one is tagged with `omarchy-mode-floated`. A window already floating when the mode reaches it -- an app with a float rule of its own, a dialog, one popped out with SUPER + T -- is left unclaimed and is still floating when the mode ends. The tag lives on the window rather than in a table here: it dies with the window, follows it between workspaces, and survives the config reload that plugging in a monitor performs, none of which a table on this side would do. A pinned window is left alone entirely, because tiling one unpins it as well.

Windows arrive on a workspace three ways and a window rule only covers one of them, so the mode watches events: window.open for what opens there, window.move_to_workspace for what is carried in, and the same event for what is carried back out, which gives up the floating the mode gave it rather than staying floating on a workspace that tiles. Every tiled window is claimed before any of them is floated, because floating one member of a group floats the rest, and claiming as it went would find those already floating and leave them stranded.

The mode is read back from the saved file rather than from the compositor. Hyprland reports a workspace's tiled layout and floating is not one, so a floating workspace still answers dwindle or scrolling; trusting that answer would skip a step of the cycle. A file saved before floating existed names a layout rather than a mode and falls through to what Hyprland reports, so the cycle keeps working and the next press rewrites it.

Two faults in the old script had to go first, because saving the mode makes both persistent. Named workspaces report a negative id, which passed the `^-?[0-9]+$` guard, and Hyprland reads a leading "-" as a selector relative to the current workspace: pressing Super + L on a named workspace reconfigured workspace 1 instead, and would now save a file that did it again at every login. And the saved state was written under $HOME/.local/state while the Hyprland side reads XDG_STATE_HOME, which also had to reach package.path: the loader lists that directory but loads the files by module name, so a state home anywhere else listed the saved layouts and then loaded same-named ones from the home directory.

Saving is checked too. The mode reaching the compositor and the mode reaching disk are separate things that can fail separately, and a save that failed silently would leave the next press reading a file that never got written, cycling between two modes and never reaching the third.

The guard against named workspaces stops new files being written, but an earlier version already wrote them, and they go on being loaded at every login. A migration removes the saved layouts named for a negative id.

The keyword fallback is gone. `hyprctl keyword` refuses a Lua configuration outright -- "keyword can't work with non-legacy parsers. Use eval." -- and exits 0 while doing so, so as a fallback it neither worked nor reported that it had not. A failed apply now says so and saves nothing, rather than announcing a layout the screen does not show and restoring it at the next login.

* Add titlebars, edge snapping, and a window Shelf to floating workspaces

Floating workspaces become a traditional desktop that works with every
theme. Windows get themed titlebars from the omarchy-hyprland-titlebars
plugin, which is loaded only while something floats. Dragging a titlebar
to the left or right edge snaps the window to that half, and dragging it
to the top or double-clicking maximizes it. The window floating mode
places is sized, centered, and cascaded, and floating workspaces focus
on click.

Super + M, or the minus button, sets a window aside on the Shelf, which
works from any workspace and restores the window onto the current one
in that workspace's layout. Float All Workspaces makes floating the
default while Super + L still sets a single workspace's layout.

* Bring resize on border to tiling too

* Fix floating mode cleanup, fullscreen windows, and failed Shelf notes

Turning Float All Workspaces off with no workspace layouts left behind
started nothing to give the floated windows back. A window fullscreen
when its workspace began floating now floats once it leaves fullscreen.
A window whose Shelf note cannot be saved stays where it is, and the
titlebars read the theme from where omarchy-theme-set writes it.

* Place the Shelf on the bar once, instead of on every minimize

Putting it back on each minimize kept a Shelf the user moved where they
put it, but re-added one they had removed. A migration places it once for
existing bars; Super + Alt + M opens the Shelf either way.
