Switch profiles automatically by foreground app #286

Description

@Maxaubert

Switch the active profile automatically by foreground app. Profiles exist (#178) and Wind already tracks the foreground exe (lockApps, churny apps), so a rule list can map exe -> profile.

  • Settings: a small table "when this app is in front, use profile X" (pickExe exists), plus a fallback profile
  • Switch on foreground change (not while mid-zoom if a model relaunch would be needed; defer those to the next zoom-out)
  • Examples: a game gets the render engine and different zoom speeds; IntelliJ gets caret tracking with a tighter glide
  • Never switch for Wind's own windows, the shell, or transient popups
