This introduces native autotiling functionality matching Sway's behavior. The feature is controlled by the `WlSeat::autotile` state flag, which intercepts the window creation (`do_map_tiled`) to ensure newly opened windows are dynamically added alongside the longest axis of the currently active window in a new split container.

This is a proof of concept to demonstrate how native Sway-like autotiling (golden ratio splitting) can be implemented directly within Jay.
What it does:
autotilestate flag toWlSeat.toggle-splitconfiguration action to toggle this daemon on and off instead of manually cycling split directions.do_map_tiled) to check the aspect ratio of the currently focused window. Ifautotileis enabled, it automatically wraps the focused window in a new split container along its longest axis before adding the new window.This matches the exact behavior of external Sway autotiling scripts, providing dynamic nested containers instead of just changing the layout direction of the existing parent container.
