Skylar Abruzese 6d3b93bbf7 fix: added active workspace matching by name as fallback
fixes bug where persistent workspaces would not be marked as active
because their id is based on creation time by hyprland and thus we can't
consistently match the id's without constantly changing them (this would
also cause issues with workspace sorting).
