Add Emacs Window Manager (EXWM) Layer AKA SpacemacsOS (#3321)
* Add Emacs Window Manager (EXWM) Layer

The time has come of SpacemacsOS

* set window manager name to EXWM

* update copyright notice

* start server when EXWM is active

When using EXWM, Emacs should be ready to receive clients but the final choice
should be the user's in their shell configuration.

* respect Spacemacs naming conventions and layer organization

* leave keyboard remapping to users

* add EXWM states for Evil

* add support for helm-exwm when helm is in use

* use both exwm-randr and exwm-systemtray

* set up workspaces to match displays by default

* use ido-config instead of the deprecated workaround

When using helm-exwm, its sources distinguish title and class automatically. It
is only necessary to keep the buffer name updated when the window title changes.
When using ido, rename differently for different applications.

* add bindings for common X keys

* use standard prefix commands where available

Spacemacs already has prefix commands for controlling windows.
These are directly available in exwm-state as well as in exwm-insert-state
through leader

* remove most keybindings as they are available directly in exwm-state

* enable exwm directly in the layer configuration

It is safe to enable it here as an existing window manager will simply fail with
a warning.

* add user-configurable variables for RandR and workspaces

By default, create as many workspaces as there are displays and assign them in
RandR order.

* fix naming convention for variables

* use helm for launching applications when possible

* fix conditional helm-exwm leader keys

* remove redundant function

EXWM provides the equivalent

* conform to naming convention for Spacemacs

* separate prefix commands into those for major mode and global

* remove all default bindings

* improve readability

* clean up bindings

* remove obsolete comments
