layout: Do not update original output for named workspaces upon adding windows

Browse Source 
The way named workspaces are generally used makes them more "attached" to their
original output.

For example, you have a two-monitor setup with named workspaces on both. When
you disconnect the monitor to go somewhere and work for a while, then return,
you probably want your named workspaces to return to where they were on your
second monitor.

This is in contrast to unnamed workspaces which are more transient and should
more easily follow you wherever you're working.

Before, it could only use the connector name.
<sup>Since: 25.01</sup> You can use `set-workspace-name` and `unset-workspace-name` actions to change workspace names dynamically.
<sup>Since: next release</sup> Named workspaces no longer update/forget their original output when opening a new window on them (unnamed workspaces will keep doing that).
This means that named workspaces "stick" to their original output in more cases, reflecting their more permanent nature.
Explicitly moving a named workspace to a different monitor will still update its original output.
