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.
