[xmonad] XMonad.Actions.CycleRecentWS rewrite (new modules inside)

Hi,

my last version of CycleRecentWS.hs had a small logical bug.
I added the current ws to the end of the list but it should go to the
head. This makes also the somewhat strange +/-2 on secondary modifier
keypress superfluous.
I also thought about getting rid of passive grab but the problem is
that we stay in the recursive loop if we don't exit on the keyrelease
event by the grabbed modifier.
This shouldn't be a problem normally, because when you press another
modifier + key combination we'll terminate the loop. It can however
lead to unexpected behavior when releasing the modifier and then
pressing it again so that the loop stays active thus cycling over the
(old and possibly not desired) state again.

Best Regards,

Jochen
