Adding sway/workspaces:persistant_workspaces

[Organic-Code]

Implements #210

Adds the persistant_workspaces option to the module sway/workspaces.
Within persistant_workspaces, you can list workspaces that should always be showed, even when non existant as per sway. It is possible to indicate which outputs they should be displayed on ; if no output was indicated, it will display on all outputs.

example:

"sway/workspaces": {
    "persistant_workspaces": {
        "3": [], // Always show a workspace with name '3', on all outputs if it does not exists
        "4": ["eDP-1"], // Always show a workspace with name '4', on output 'eDP-1' if it does not exists
        "5": ["eDP-1", "DP-2"] // Always show a workspace with name '5', on outputs 'eDP-1' and 'DP-2' if it does not exists
    }
}

Known issue: upon clicking on a non-existing workspace, the new workspace will be created and opened on the output that is currently focused, instead of on the one where the click occured (except if there are further restriction on sway's config)

Just pushed a commit in order to focus the correct workspace, and fix an ordering pb.
LGTM! Nice work!

[Organic-Code]

Fixed another ordering pb 😛
If it's good for you, I'll update the wiki then

Thanks!

Sorry for necro, but if anyone comes across this in the future, this is now persistent_workspaces, not persistant_workspaces. See 2646390

Yes, all wlroots based compositors will work with Waybar's workspace module.

I am on Hyprland now, and can confirm this is the case
