feat(sway): enable swayr auto-tile via systemd user unit
Vanilla sway only has splith/splitv with no auto-orientation, so new
windows always split along whatever axis the parent container is set
to (default splith). The result: opening a third window in a workspace
that's already split horizontally just keeps stacking horizontally,
even when each pane is now narrower than it is tall.
swayr's daemon (swayrd) subscribes to sway IPC and, with
[layout].auto_tile = true, issues splith or splitv on the focused
container based on its width-vs-height before sway places the next
window. The result is the i3/awesome-style spiral tiling: each new
window splits the focused pane along its longest side.
Run swayrd as a systemd user service bound to sway-session.target so
it starts/stops with the session (matching the pattern used by
waybar, swayidle, mako, etc.). No keybind changes; only the placement
algorithm.
