patch: taglabels

Displays the executable name of each tag's current master client after
the tag name in the dwm bar.

        For example, if st is the master client on tag 1, then the bar
        would display [1: st] as opposed to just 1.

The format of the label, for both non-empty and empty tags, is
configurable through the configuration variables ptagf and etagf
respectively. There is also a config variable, lcaselbl, that, when
enabled, makes the first letter lowercase (out of personal preference).

This is a modified version of the taglabels patch that, rather than
using the window class (executable name) of the master client, uses the
actual window title for each tag's label.
