Adds a settings-panel toggle (Keybinds > window_switcher.per_workspace) that restricts the Alt-Tab window switcher to windows on the currently active workspace, instead of always listing windows across every workspace. Filtering lives in the shared buildWindowEntries() path used by every compositor backend via CompositorPlatform::workspaceWindowAssignments(), so it applies wherever a backend reports per-window workspace keys (Hyprland, Sway, niri, labwc, mango, the generic ext-workspace/triad backend). Windows with no workspace assignment (e.g. on backends without workspace-window tracking, such as KDE/KWin and dwl) always pass through unfiltered, so the toggle degrades to a no-op there rather than emptying the switcher. Also fixes WindowSwitcher::show() calling refreshWindows() before m_output was assigned, which made the filter (and any future per-output logic) see a stale/null output on first open.
