DeeJanuzandClaude Opus 5.5 87a402c68d Add ft-floatd and the frametop-float KWin script
ft-floatd loads the script into the desktop's KWin, which reports windows
over D-Bus and takes commands through a long poll. Floating a window (the
window menu's Float in VR, Meta+Shift+F, or ft-float) turns on a spare
output sized to the window plus a margin, moves the window onto it, and
tells ft-screens the panel's crop, density, and place; docking puts it
back and turns the spare off. Tested on the headless test desktop; the
panel side in ft-screens comes next.
