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.
