Add XMonad.Util.ClickableWorkspaces module (#364)
This module enables clickable workspace tags in XMobar in a relatively unobtrusive fashion.

-- the "XMonad.Hooks.DynamicLog" hook, will make the workspace tags clickable in
-- XMobar (for switching focus).

-- However you have set up your PP, apply @clickablePP@ to it, and bind the result
-- to "XMonad.Hooks.DynamicLog"\'s dynamicLogWithPP like so:
--
-- > logHook = clickablePP xmobarPP { ... } >>= dynamicLogWithPP
--
-- * Requirements:
-- * wmctrl on system (in path)
-- * "XMonad.Hooks.EwmhDesktops" for wmctrl support (see Hackage docs for setup)
-- * use of UnsafeStdinReader in xmobarrc (rather than StdinReader)
