feat(window-switcher): mark desktops with waybar's icons
The card's desktop line showed the workspace number. waybar draws the same eight desktops as CSS background images keyed by number, because its format-icons takes text rather than paths; those names now live in the Windows singleton and are resolved through the active icon theme, so a theme switch follows the drawer and the bar and the switcher agree. A named workspace, or one past eight, falls back to its number, and so does an icon the active theme cannot resolve.

With nothing to switch to it says so, because a full-screen dim with nothing in
it reads as a hang.
