cycle-focus: add --focused-output & --focused-workspace options #191

Open laur89 opened 2 years ago

these track window lists (and indices) per output and per workspace respectively. note this deviates from the as-is functionality, where there was only a single global window list. these new options essentially scope the alt-tabbing to specific areas.
existing options are backwards-compatible.

If this is accepted, please see follow-up PR #193 that builds upon this one.

I'd also make a case for deprecating existing --active-workspace functionality & replace with the new logic implemented by --focused-workspace; scoping (and remembering!) window lists per workspace as opposed to keeping a single global list is bound to be more useful.

What's your opinion on this @acrisci ?
