Dialogs on the Decks opened floating and larger than the panel, with
their buttons past the screen edge and no pointer to drag them back.
A catch-all open-floating false tiles them, so niri fits them to the
output.

The rule needs to be read after every other window rule to win,
including the Noctalia settings rule that arrives through the
shell-bindings include. ~/.config/niri is one directory shared by
every host, so the Decks get it through a new per-host include,
/etc/niri/host-window-rules.kdl, empty on every other host.

Tested: `niri validate` passes for the generated include and for
dotfiles/niri/config.kdl; the include evaluates empty on dragon. Not
yet deployed to a Deck.
