headless-primary: relocate workspaces stranded on a mirrored output

Browse Source 
On swap-back Hyprland brings DP-1 up normal, binds a workspace to it, then apply
mirrors DP-1 — trapping that workspace on a layout-excluded mirror (unreachable;
symptom: 'can't make workspace 1 show'). apply now moves any workspace off a
mirrored output onto the headless primary. Verified the heal operation
(move-off-mirror) manually.

On swap-back Hyprland brings `DP-1` up *normal*, binds a workspace to it, and
then we mirror it — leaving that workspace trapped on a layout-excluded
mirror (unreachable). This moves it off. (You can move a workspace *off* a
mirror but not *onto* one, which is why this only bites via hotplug.)
