workspace: Sort windows in overview grid using cached center

When accessing properties on ClutterActor for size and position there is
a notable access time overhead. This overhead adds considerable user lag
when opening the overview if many windows are open.

This is primarily due to these properties being accessed while sorting
WindowClone instances by their window's center for placement in the
overview. By pre-computing this center value only once when
initializing WindowClone, the induced lag can be significantly reduced.
