[xmonad] Patch to add new Layout message

I found the inc/dec masterN commands to be a bit clumsy, especially
considering that I pretty much just use 1 client in the master pane most of
the time, sometimes using 2 when I wanted to alternate between two windows
rapidly. I just submitted issue #577 on the google code issue tracker that
includes a patch to add a new Message for changing the client count.

The Message is called "SplitMaster", and has no arguments. It sets the
client count of the master pane to 1 if it's not currently 1, thus
providing a quick way to get back to that setting. It setgs the client
count for the master pane to 2 if it's currently 1, effectively making it a
toggle between the two modes of a split master pane and an full size master
pane.

I'm not sure if that's the proper way to submit patches. If not, please let
me know what I need to do to submit it properly. If it is, could I get
somoen to consider it and either merge it (with whatever fixes it requires)
or let me know what I can do to get it merged?

Thanks,
Mike
