04c781674c Move WindowPreviewLayout from JS to C
This layout manager is used quite often and the time we spend calling
it's allocate and get_preferred_width/heigth functions increases with
every open window.

We can save a lot of precious time during the layout cycle by moving
this layout manager from JS to C, thus avoiding the overhead of
trampolining between C and JS land.

In a measurement where the average time spent in vfunc_allocate() of the
Workspace actor was measured while opening an overview with 20 windows,
the average time spent went down from 3.1 ms to 2.3 ms.
