Since the regular session also switched to horizontal workspaces,
using a vertical menu has been a bit awkward.
Now that our previews have become more flexible, we can use them
in the collapsed state as well as when embedded into the top bar.

Both the regular session and GNOME classic use a horizontal layout
nowadays, so it doesn't seem worth to specifically handle vertical
layouts anymore.
The extension will still work when the layout is changed (by some
other extension), there will simply be a mismatch between horizontal
previews and the actual layout.

The space in the top bar is too limited to include the workspace
names. However we'll soon replace the textual menu with a preview
popover. We can use bigger previews there, so we can include the
names to not lose functionality with regards to the current menu.

We currently avoid previews from overflowing in most setups by
artificially limiting them to a maximum of six workspaces.
Add some proper handling to also cover cases where space is more
limited, and to allow removing the restriction in the future.
For that, wrap the previews in an auto-scrolling scroll view
and add overflow indicators on each side.

The two extensions currently use a slightly different label
in menu mode:
The workspace indicator uses the plain workspace number ("2"),
while the window list includes the number of workspaces ("2 / 4").
The additional information seem useful, as well as the slightly
bigger click/touch target, so copy the window-list behavior.

Currently the same method is used to get the label text for the
indicator itself and for the menu items.
A method that behaves significantly different depending on whether
a parameter is passed is confusing, so only deal with the indicator
label and directly use the mutter API to get the workspace names
for menu items.

The indicator is located in the top bar, so tooltips are always
shown below the previews. However supporting showing tooltips
above previews when space permits allows the same code to be
used in the copy that is included with the window-list extension.

Shortly after the window-list extension was added, it gained a
workspace switcher based on the workspace indicator extension.
Duplicating the code wasn't a big issue while the switcher was
a simple menu, but since it gained previews with a fair bit of
custom styling, syncing changes between the two extensions has
become tedious, in particular as the two copies have slightly
diverged over time.
In order to allow the two copies to converge again, the indicator
code needs to be separate from the extension boilerplate, so
split out the code into a separate module.
