fix(restore): keep a floating window remembered beside the tiled desk
`try_restore` recalled every off-view floating window into the restored
view. cce-data-editor parked left of the first tiled column (x -8461,
column at -7380) was moved to the view centre every login because the
camera had been saved two screens to the right — see cce.log 2026-09-14,
"Recalling off-view floating window into view".
New `WindowManager::tiled_desk_bounds`: the union of the session's Tiled
entries still in `restore_queue` and every live Tiled window, skipping
minimized ones and the status/wallpaper/grid layers. Passed to
`policy::camera::recalled_origin`, which now leaves a window within one
viewport of that box where it was. The recall log line prints the box.
Verified in a headless shadow with a seeded state.json: a floating
cce-data-editor at x -1100 beside a tiled cce-terminal at 0, camera at 0,
restored at -1100; a floating cce-color-editor at -6000 was still recalled.
