Workspace text renders noticeably smaller than the rest of the bar by default (xs vs. sm/md elsewhere) with no way to change it. Add a `font_size` option scoped to "small" (default) / "large" only, since the bar height is fixed and anything bigger doesn't fit the workspace button without also making the bar taller.

Workspace numbers/names currently render at the smallest step on ashell's
font-size scale (
theme.font_size.xs, 10px), which is smaller than therest of the bar (
window_titleuses 12px, the clock's main time text fallsback to iced's 16px default), and there is no way to change it from config.
Adds a basic
font_sizeoption on[workspaces]:"small"(default, unchangedbehavior) or
"large"(bumps totheme.font_size.sm, matchingwindow_title).Only two values for now (limited-scope change). The bar height is a fixed
constant, and the workspace button height is pegged to
theme.space.md(16px). A larger
theme.font_size.md(16px) font would leave no vertical marginand looks cramped/clipped without additional changes so anything past
large(internal
smfont size) isn't usable until bar height itself becomes configurable,which is separate, larger work (see #120).
