Nah, forget what I wrote, I removed the Mod1-d stuff, this
scales too poorly. I think the wide-layout patch is not so bad,
thus current tip supports basically what wide-layout does (due
to toggling the stack position between side and bottom).

This feels better and simplier.

Due to testing these things I noticed that there is a serious
bug in restack (it might have been there for quite a while). If
one runs dozens of clients and the dotile() algorithm enters the
fallback mode, the clients which are maximized in the stack area
might be lower than the visible one. This is because the
selected tiled window is not the top-level tiled window. I'm
going to fix this annoyance.
