[xmonad] The future of PerWorkspace

But it's not just about messages; we'd also need doLayoutInWorkspace and
emptyLayoutInWorkspace.  In particular xinerama support would not work
without those.  Since PerWorkspace is the only layout that could possibly
use this information, adding three new methods to the LayoutClass just for
this is almost certainly not the way to go.
