Allow a window to be sticky but not floating #8241

When I have a videocall, I would like to be able to switch between workspaces, always keeping the call open. Currently it seems stickiness is only honored for floating windows.

I don't think that's possible given the design of Sway/i3: a tiled contained can only be part of a single tree.

Also, we're not accepting any new window management features anymore. See https://github.com/swaywm/sway/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#scope-of-future-changes-to-sway
