Add new module: X.L.CircleEx: advanced version of Circle layout

[portnov]

Description

X.L.Circle layout is somewhat nice, but it does not provide much possibilities for customization. This adds a new module, X.L.CircleEx, which is similar to X.L.Circle, but has some new features:

• Number of "master" windows can be adjusted. For example, with 0 master windows, all windows go in a circle, nothing in the center.
• It's possible to configure sizes of master window and slave window (as a portion of screen size).
• Size of each next slave window is slightly less than size of previous (configurable)
• It's possible to rotate whole setup clockwise / counterclockwise. For example, by default first slave window opens near right edge of the screen, but I like it to open near left top corner.

Checklist

• I've read CONTRIBUTING.md

• I've done extensive manual testing by using it for a month :)

• I updated the CHANGES.md file

Based on a cursory read, this look fine, thanks! 👍

Since you say that this essentially supersedes X.L.Circle, would it be possible to (i) implement that in terms of this new module, and (ii) perhaps deprecate X.L.Circle (if that's desired)?

Ok. For (i), I added a variant of default settings which mimics X.L.Circle's hardcoded settings.

Thanks for the contribution, just came by to say that a screenshot would be great 😄

ok, importing (:%) from GHC.Real did the trick. I'm not very happy with exporting data constructor, because it will complicate things if / when it will be required to add fields to data type. But probably you're right and not having a duplicate of logic overweights that potential problem.

Now, when I deprecated X.L.Circle module, I see some number of deprecation warnings, since it was used in several places. I think I should also replace Circle with CircleEx in these places.

Sounds good 👍
