2configs.sway: improve tab/focus behavior, remove autotiling
- mod+w: flatten all workspace windows into tabbed layout
- mod+Tab: cycle focus through leaf windows in tree order
- Remove split bindings (mod+b/v) to avoid accidental sub-containers
- Remove autotiling (replaced by explicit layout control)
