Remap bar and background surfaces when their monitor moves

Hyprland leaves an already-mapped layer surface at its old global
position when its monitor moves within the layout: undocking disables
the internal panel, the external monitor shifts to x=0, and the bar and
background keep rendering at the old offset until unmapped and remapped.
Watch each screen's origin and briefly unmap the window when it moves so
the compositor re-places the surface at the monitor's new origin.
