Give scratchpad a Quake-style console presentation (#7409)

Browse Source 
* Give scratchpad a Quake-style presentation

* Keep the Quake scratchpad from restyling every window

The presentation was bought with global decoration defaults: rounding went
0 -> 5 and both shadow and blur were switched back on for every window on
the system, undoing 935283c8. Blur in particular is close to invisible
here, since every window is already tagged 0.985/0.96 opacity and no layer
rule asks for it, so it was GPU load on every frame for almost nothing.

Put the globals back and scope the rounding to the scratchpad with a window
rule, the same way popped windows already get theirs. The inset, dim_special
and the slide carry the effect on their own. dim_special only applies while
a special workspace is open, so it stays.

Also drop the four workspace-rule booleans that only restated Hyprland's
defaults, fold the stale scratchpad rows in the hotkey table into the new
ones, and give the binding assertions their own fixture instead of borrowing
the bar-panel one.

### Scratchpad workspace
Finally, there's a special scratchpad workspace that overlays on whatever workspace you're currently on. You access what's on that using `Super + S` and you place windows there using `Super + Alt + S`.
Finally, there's a special scratchpad workspace that drops down over whatever workspace you're currently on, much like a Quake console. Toggle it with `Super + Grave` or `Super + S`, and place a window there using `Super + Shift + Grave` or `Super + Alt + S`.
It works well for controls or perhaps a terminal that you quickly want to interact with in an overlay without leaving the current workspace. If you want to move a window off the scratchpad, you just move it directly to another workspace with something like `Super + Shift + 1` to move it to workspace 1.
It works especially well for a terminal running an agent, or for controls you want to interact with quickly without leaving the current workspace. To move a window off the scratchpad, send it directly to another workspace with something like `Super + Shift + 1`.
### It takes some getting used to!
