Additional messages on window actions

• Resize operations
• Floating container moves (position and/or output change)
• Focus changes that don't involve leaf containers (focus up binding, defocus due to switch to empty workspace)

Minimize to scratchpad

• Might belong in a different scratchpad-like area instead
• Wire up "minimize" XDG action and wlr-foreign-toplevel
• Windows should retain the workspace they were minimized from

Buttons on the window titlebar

• Close windows by mouse (without adding a binding on the entire titlebar)
• Switch workspaces (left/right)
• Minimize (see above)
• Maximize (also known as "move to new workspace and focus that workspace")
• Fullscreen?
• Floating toggle
• Layout type toggle?
• Given this long list of options, a user-customizable set of buttons would be better than a hard-coded list. Swaybar has a possible useful interface for this.

Application icon in the titlebar

• FYI: this is a pain to implement
