This implements window swallowing on top of SubLayouts; the matched
windows are simply tabbed together instead of one actually being
swallowed. This provides an improved experience for people using
SubLayouts, as the parent window is still accessible.
Done as part of ZuriHac 2021.

It's often difficult to make contrib modules work together. When one
depends on a functionality of another, it is often necessary to expose
lots of low-level functions and hooks and have the user combine these
into a complex configuration that works. This is error-prone, and
arguably a bad UX in general.
This commit presents a simple solution to that problem inspired by
"extensible state": extensible config. It allows contrib modules to
store custom configuration values inside XConfig. This lets them create
custom hooks, ensure they hook into xmonad core only once, and possibly
other use cases I haven't thought of yet.
This requires changes to xmonad core: https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad/pull/294
A couple examples of what this gives us:
* [X.H.RescreenHook](https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/pull/460)
can be made safe to apply multiple times, making it composable and
usable in other contrib modules like X.H.StatusBar
* `withSB` from X.H.StatusBar can also be made safe to apply multiple
times, and we can even provide an API [similar to what we had
before](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-contrib-0.16/docs/XMonad-Hooks-DynamicLog.html#v:statusBar)
if we want (probably not, consistency with the new dynamic status bars
of https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/pull/463 is more important)
* The [X.H.EwmhDesktops refactor](https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/pull/399)
can possibly be made without breaking the `ewmh`/`ewmhFullscreen` API.
And we will finally be able to have composable EWMH hooks.

corresponding utilities
- XMonad.Hooks.StatusBar: A new module to provide a better interface to
manage external status bars.
* All references to darcs have been updated to git
* Most Google Code references have been changed to GitHub
* References to specific issues at code.google.com have been left
alone
* Updated the GenerateManpage.hs to work with the latest version of
pandoc
XMonad.Hooks.Minimize handles both minimize and restore
messages. Handling restore messages was already done in
RestoreMinimized, which this module intends to replace.
Most signifigant changes are use unversioned links to external html,
fix a couple of key binding examples, and double quotes that should
have been single.
This adds XMonad.Util.Cursor, which defines a function that allows setting
the default mouse cursor. This can be useful for (for example) gnomeConfig,
to ensure that the root cursor is changed from X_cursor to left_ptr.
