Subject: [PATCH] polybar: Add labels for bspwm status

Now that I understand the difference between the monocle desktop
layout and the fullscreen state of a node, it became clear that I
would probably use both.

Since I use the single_monocle config option, desktops with the
tiled layout may contain a monocle node, so I needed a way to tell
which layout a desktop was running.

I initially thought about using sxhkd to send a notification with
the layout portion of bspc query -T -d, however polybar supports
showing the layout natively, so I don't need to use a keybind.

The layout portion of the polybar config may not be needed if, for
example, you decide to disable single_monocle and there is no ambiguity
between fullscreen nodes and monocle desktops.
