glitches when toggling the dock.

[aspauldingcode]

The window borders forget the windows have been moved when yabai moves windows due to the dock being toggled on.

This is fixed temporarily by me by setting a borders background color to transparent, so it updates borders. This should however be fixed.

In addition, we should have an option that doesn't do anything but triggers borders. maybe return true successfully without doing anything. This would solve the issue without taking up a useful option. Maybe this could be named borders reload or borders --reload but I'd want this to not reload borders, only update the current process. That's what fixes the gap under the windows when the dock is toggled.

In addition, yabai sometimes forgets to move the windows. So, I've fixed that temporarily too by setting the external_bar size twice.

for the sake of reproducability, I've included my toggle-dock script, defined in my nix config.

# toggle-dock
    (pkgs.writeShellScriptBin "toggle-dock" ''
      dock_state_file="/tmp/dock_state"
      gaps_state_file="/tmp/gaps_state"
      sketchybar_state_file="/tmp/sketchybar_state"

      toggle_dock() {
          local dock_status=$(osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get autohide of dock preferences')
          local gaps_status=$(cat "$gaps_state_file")
          local sketchybar_status=$(cat "$sketchybar_state_file")
          update_spaces_and_bar() {
            #sleep 1
            if [ "$gaps_status" = "on" ]; then
                ${yabai} -m config external_bar all:50:1
                ${yabai} -m config external_bar all:50:0
            else
                ${yabai} -m config external_bar all:42:1
                ${yabai} -m config external_bar all:42:0
            fi
            ${borders} background_color=0x000000
          }

          if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then
              # No arguments provided, toggle based on current state
              if [ "$dock_status" = "true" ]; then
