bspwm: Don't open new nodes on empty desktops

Browse Source 
I initially programmed this "dynamic desktops" implementation for a
similar feel to GNOME, however after using it for a few months I
realized that I was taking away one of the main advantages of a tiling
window manager by having all windows not tile by default.

Additionally, I ran into some edge cases where the next window would not
show if opened on a desktop that had multiple nodes open. Although I
could probably figure out the cause with some effort, I'd much rather
enjoy the simplicity of the traditional tiling hierarchy once more.
