    workspace: Scale slots to current workspace size when layout is frozen
    
    The transition from the overview freezes the workspace layout at the
    start of the animation, which means that the calculated window slots
    remain the same while the workspace itslef grows. This causes the
    windows to appear slightly shrunk in comparison to the workspace and
    shifted to the top left. This is especially noticeable during the
    beginning of the animation when there is more weight on the slots than
    the original window position and if there are not that many open
    windows.
    
    Unfreezing the layout for this transition is not possible, because it
    would cause issues with newly opened windows abruptly changing the
    layout when the animation happens after starting a new app.
    
    This change instead tries to scale the frozen layout to the current
    workspace size. While this is not entirely correct, because this scales
    the spacing between the slots as well, it is still more accurate than
    the completely unscaled slots.
