📄 Description

This commit fixes an issue where when trying to move floating windows or windows on a floating workspace across boundaries to another monitor using the move_container_in_direction it wouldn't move the floating windows physically, although it moved them internally on komorebi, resulting in weird and wrong behavior.

This commit creates a new method on Monitor to add_container_with_direction which takes a move direction and then uses the same logic that was previously on the move_container_in_direction function.

It changes the move_container_to_monitor function to take an optional move direction which if it is some will have this function call the new method add_container_with_direction instead of just add_container.

Lastly the move_container_in_direction function now when it realizes the move will be across monitors simply calls the move_container_to_monitor with the direction that was initially given to it.

These changes require that all callers of move_container_to_monitor add an direction option, instead of passing None on all of them, a new helper function was created, named direction_from_monitor_idx which calculates the direction a move will have from the currently focused monitor and the target monitor return None if they are the same or returning Some(direction) if not. This way now all commands that call a move across monitor will use the logic to check from the direction if it should add the container on front or end.

With these changes now all the code related to moving a window across monitors using a command should be on one place only making sure that in the future any change required only needs to be done on one place, instead of having to do it on move_container_to_monitor and move_container_in_direction as before!
