[dwm][patch][betterswallow] Add patch
This patch is yet another take on swallowing, this time with a PID-based
mechanism for detecting swallowed windows and the simple IPC mechanism of
a ClientMessage.
The PID-based mechanism is, in my opinion, significantly better than the
crude string matching mechanisms of `dynamicswallow`, not to mention the
`devour` program which just unmaps the active window.
Since IPC is handled with a ClientMessage, the code for IPC is
significantly simpler than alternative approaches and is entirely
self-contained in this patch.

+# betterswallow
+
+## Description
+
+This patch adds "window swallowing" to dwm, as a few existing patches already do,
+but with another take on dynamic swallowing. In contrast to the existing
+[dynamicswallow](
https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/dynamicswallow/) patch,
+`betterswallow` uses PID-based swallowing and a non-standard X11 ClientMessage
+for communication. As with `dynamicswallow`, an external tool `better-swallow`
+is required to use it. `better-swallow` is a separate tool that does not
+*require* this patch but is only enhanced by its presence, without the patch
+it falls back to the devour mechanism of unmapping the parent window itself.
+
+Development of this patch should only happen on the
+[GitHub repository](
https://github.com/afishhh/better-swallow) of
+`better-swallow`, if you find any bugs feel free to open an issue.
+
+Currently only a version for dwm-6.3 exists, if you wish to update the patch to
+a newer version of DWM you can open a pull request to the `better-swallow`
+repository.

+- [better-swallow](

+
+## Patching
+
+The patch requires the `Xres` library, make sure you have it in your build environment.
+
+Unlike `dynamicswallow` you don't have to worry about any IPC patches, because
+this patch uses the simpler method of a ClientMessage for registering swallowers.
+
+If you have any patches that store geometry parameters in the `Client` struct,
+make sure they're copied in the `copyclientpos` function.
+
+## Usage
+
+Run any graphical program you want to be swallowed as
+`better-swallow <CMD>`, this will cause any windows it spawns to replace the
+parent window.
+
+Since `better-swallow` is a pretty long name I recommend creating an alias such as
+`bs`.
+
+## Limitations
+
+- Due to the reliance on the `Xres` extension and PIDs, this will fail if the X server
+is not running on the same machine as `better-swallow` and possibly add nonsensical
+entries to the "swallow queue".
+- If a swallowed process opens the window deeper in the process tree it will not get
+swallowed. This may be fixed in the future by traversing the whole process chain
+instead of just one step up. Open an issue if you actually encounter this.
