📄 Description

I am currently migrating from sway to Hyprland, and so I added support for Hyprland in the sway_mode module. Because the module is no longer sway-only, I decided to rename to a more generic name. This feature does not have a consistent name across window managers, i3/Sway calls it binding mode, while Hyprland calls it Keybind submaps. But "bindmode" appears to be a good enough name.

I made "sway_mode" be a alias for "bindmode" to avoid breaking configs that use the previous name, but I can remove that if you prefer.
