Allow rendering titlebar on bottom

[janza]

This implements part of #883 and similar issue on i3/i3/issues/2747 by adding a command titlebar_position. It accepts two options for now: top and bottom.

I've probably missed some edge cases but would like to know if there's any interest in adding this feature?

I know this is listed as a draft, but here's a few small comments.

I might need a bit of guidance on this one:

I've implemented rendering of titlebar on the bottom which works OK in cases when border is set to 0.
But with the current implementation I see some rendering issues when there is a border. They appear when resizing the window using mouse, but they are not there when resizing using keyboard shortcuts (or swaymsg).

@janza do you still get those rendering issues?

Hi, what is the status of this PR? Thank you!

[janza]

Hi, I've been running sway with this patch for a while now without issues (AUR sway-titlebar-positioning-git).
I would be interested to hear if there's additional feedback on the code and interest in merging it?

[i2]

I'd be very interested if this becomes available on main branch.

Hello, any updates on this?

I would love getting this merges although it's rejected by i3. In my setup (my focus is more on the top of the display because that way I can sit more ergonomically) I want the most important information at the top of my screen and the noise like system bar and window titles at the bottom.

I'd love to see this merged as it makes for a cleaner interface whenever the sway bar is positioned at the top of the screen.
Rendering the titlebar for applications at the bottom reduces clutter/"noise" between important information in the sway bar and the application(s) on the screen.

Can I just install this, and it will work? Or is there some more stuff to do?
