Automatically set the property for window classes/application the user manually attached or detached to scratch layer

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It could be an improvement of the current workflow.
Right now the user needs to manually identify and add the wm_class.

Describe the solution you'd like

If the user has manually attached a window to the scratch layer it should be automatically marked to open there next time launched. If manually detached, should be marked accordingly. This will save the need to add and remove manually.

I also thought figuring out the wm_class is a bit annoying.

However, I don't know if we should always just add a rule automatically. I think that might be unexpected behavior. Maybe with a setting.

I think we could e.g. show some suggestions in the settings for currently open windows to make creating rules a bit easier.

Or we could add a window option (e.g. like when we right-click a window title, or hit alt+space) that has an option like add/remove scratch rule - that will automatically add or remove the rule.

E.g. like the Scratch option that is there (add other options to add/remove window by class etc.):

Or even make it more generic... like add PaperWM rule which will open PaperWM winprop settings and add (or open) a rule with the wm_class populated.

Could have options like:

• add PaperWM wm_class rule
• add PaperWM title rule
