When selecting which workspace to create on an output, i3 uses a
"depth-first" approach: for each workspace, it checks if the current
output is the *first available* choice in that workspace's output list.
This allows configurations like:
workspace 1 output DP-1 eDP-1
workspace 9 output eDP-1
When only eDP-1 is connected, i3 would select workspace 1 (since eDP-1
is its first available output). Previously, sway would check if the
output was *anywhere* in the workspace's list, which could lead to
unexpected behavior depending on config order.
This change updates both workspace_valid_on_output() and
workspace_next_name() to use the same "first available" logic as i3,
making sway's workspace-output assignment behavior match i3 more
closely.

Configuration
If you already use i3, then copy your i3 config to ~/.config/sway/config and
it'll work out of the box. Otherwise, copy the sample configuration file to
