window-switcher: add order parameter to allow stable window list ordering
Some checks failed
labwc.github.io / notify (push) Has been cancelled

Add a new configuration option to control the window switcher traversal order.

`order="focus"` cycling is convenient for quick toggling, but some users - me as well -
prefer a stable taskbar-like order which can now be achieved with `order="age"`.
