Adds window-focus-or-output-{left,right} and
window-move-or-output-{left,right}: falls through to focusing/moving to
the adjacent output when the column is already at the edge. Vertical
(up/down) variants land in a follow-up commit.

Summary
Adds new IPC actions that extend the existing focus/movement commands to cross output boundaries:
window-focus-or-output-left/window-focus-or-output-rightwindow-focus-or-output-up/window-focus-or-output-downwindow-move-or-output-left/window-move-or-output-rightwindow-move-or-output-up/window-move-or-output-downWhen the focused window is already at the edge of its row or column, instead of silently doing nothing, these actions focus the adjacent output in that direction or move the focused window's column to that output. This matches the behavior of Niri and makes monitor navigation seamless across both axes in scrollable-tiling layouts.
The original
window-focus-left/right/up/downandwindow-move-left/right/up/downactions remain unchanged for users who prefer workspace-local behavior.Motivation
Got used to the Niri feature, and was struggling without it. I use only horizontal output traversal; but this PR completes the feature with vertical support as well for consistent monitor navigation in both axes.
