feat(quickshell): Alt+Tab overview of every monitor and workspace

Each monitor is a row of workspace cards at its own aspect ratio, with
live captures of the windows where they sit, including windows on
hidden workspaces. Alt+Tab opens it with the previous window picked,
further Tabs walk the focus history, and releasing Alt switches.
Super+W opens it without the hold. Hover, click, Enter and the
workspace digits work too.

Group cycling moves from Alt+Tab to Super+Tab and Super+Shift+Tab.

+## Overview
+
+`overview/Overview.qml`. Each monitor is a row of small portholes, one per
+workspace at that monitor's aspect ratio, with live captures of the windows
+where they sit (`ScreencopyView`, so windows on hidden workspaces show too).
+The monitor's name heads its row once there is more than one. A group shows
+the member in front with a `1/3` tag; picking a hidden member puts it in
+front.
+
+`Alt+Tab` opens it with the previous window picked, more Tabs walk back
+through focus history, and letting go of Alt switches. Hyprland keeps the
+Alt+Tab bind while the overview has the keyboard, so those presses arrive
+over IPC (`overviewNext` / `overviewPrev`); the Alt release comes to the
+overview itself, with a release bind on `ALT_L` as a backstop. Hover picks
+only once the pointer moves, so a resting pointer cannot override the
+keyboard. Enter, a click, or `1`–`9` for a workspace also go; Escape or a
+click on the dark cancels.
+
+Focus is dispatched a moment after the overview lets go of the keyboard:
+Hyprland ignores focus changes while a layer holds it exclusively.
