feat: minimize and restore windows the way a desktop does

Browse Source 
The scratchpad technically minimized Chrome, but sway hands scratchpad
windows back floating, so restoring gave a draggable window instead of
the maximized one the user put away. Park windows on a hidden workspace
as ordinary tiled containers instead, and move them back to the visible
workspace on restore.

classroom-window carries the whole state machine, so the dock buttons
and Super+M share one implementation:

  not running  -> launch
  unfocused    -> focus
  focused      -> minimize
  minimized    -> restore, tiled and maximized

Fullscreen is dropped on the way out, since a container parked while
still fullscreen keeps drawing over everything else. floating disable on
the way back also rescues windows left floating by the old scratchpad
path.

Super+Shift+M restores the newest minimized window, so nothing can get
stranded on the hidden workspace.
