refactor(sway): make thunderbird toggle tile instead of float
Scratchpad is inherently floating; the user wants the main TB window to tile normally when shown and disappear completely when hidden. Park the main window on a hidden workspace _tb via for_window, then toggle it with a small swaymsg+jq script that moves it between _tb and the currently focused workspace. Child windows (compose, viewer, calendar, prefs) are unaffected and tile wherever they spawn. - Autostart thunderbird so the window exists on login, parked on _tb. - Hide _tb from waybar's workspace list. - Update KEYBINDS.md.
