Subject: [PATCH] Adding switchtag option for rules allowing auto-moving 
 dedicated tags for specific applications

dwm allow you to set application specific rules so that you can have your browser, for example,
start up on tag 9 optionally on a given monitor.
When you open your browser it is then automatically moved to the configured tag, but you have
to manually enable the tag to see the newly opened application.
This patch adds an extra configuration option for individual rules where:
   - 0 is default behaviour
   - 1 automatically moves you to the tag of the newly opened application and
   - 2 enables the tag of the newly opened application in addition to your existing enabled tags
   - 3 as 1, but closing that window reverts the view back to what it was previously (*)
   - 4 as 2, but closing that window reverts the view back to what it was previously (*)

(*) except if the client has been moved between tags or to another monitor
