feat(config): add static json loader and whkd flag

This commit is an implementation of a static JSON configuration loader.

An example komorebi.json configuration file has been added.

The application-specific configurations can be loaded directly from a
file, and workspace configuration can be defined declaratively in the
JSON. Individual rules etc. can also be added directly in the static
configuration as one-offs.

A JSONSchema can be generated using komorebic's static-config-schema
command. This should be added to something like SchemaStore later.

Loading from static configuration is significantly faster on startup, as
the lock does not have to be reacquired for every command that is sent
over the socket.

When loading configuration from a static JSON file, a hotwatch instance
will automatically be created to listen to file changes and apply any
updates to both the global and window manager configuration state.

A new --whkd flag has been added to the komorebic start command to
optionally start whkd in a background process.

A new komorebic command 'generate-static-config' has been added to help
existing users migrate to a static JSON config file. Currently, custom
layout file path information can not be automatically populated in the
output of this command and must be added manually by the user if
required.

A new komorebic command 'fetch-asc' has been added to help users update
to the latest version of the application-specific configurations
in-place.

 This means that `komorebi` is now running in the background, tiling all your windows, and listening for commands sent to
 it by `komorebic`. You can similarly stop the process by running `komorebic stop`.

 ### Configuring
 
-If you followed the quickstart, `komorebi` will find the sample `komorebi.ps1` file in your `$Env:USERPROFILE` directory
-and automatically load it. This file also starts `whkd` using the sample `whkrc` file in your `$Env:USERPROFILE\.config`

+If you followed the quickstart, `komorebi.json` will be the single place where you declaratively configure the behaviour
+of the window manager. There is a [complete JSON Schema for this configuration file](schema.json) available to provide
+users with auto-completions in their editors.

+If you are running with a dynamic configuration script as recommended in v0.1.16 and earlier, `komorebi` will find the
+sample `komorebi.ps1` file in your `$Env:USERPROFILE` directory and automatically load it. This file also starts `whkd` using the sample `whkrc` file
+in your `$Env:USERPROFILE\.config` directory.
 
 Alternatively, if you have AutoHotKey installed and a `komorebi.ahk` file in `$Env:UserProfile` directory, `komorebi`
 will automatically try to load it when starting.
 
+#### Migrating to a Static Configuration File
+
+If you have been using `komorebi` with a dynamic configuration script and wish to migrate to using a static
+configuration file, once you have `komorebi` running in the desired configuration state, you can
