[xmonad] Shift Spotify to the right workspace

[Brandon Allbery]

IIRC it's a web-based client, so that only gets set after initial load and
rendering; before that, it probably identifies as some variety of HTML
widget / mini-browser. You'll need
http://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-contrib-0.15/docs/XMonad-Hooks-DynamicProperty.html
to match it.

(It's actually violating the protocol if it's not setting WM_CLASS properly
initially, but any more nobody cares about such things.)
