initial implementation of the feature

This patch adds a possibility to quickly switch to previous workspace via keybindings. Basically, if you switched from workspace 2 to workspace 1 by pressing keyboard shortcut for workspace 1, pressing the same shortcut again while on workspace 1 will switch back to workspace 2.

I initially described it here:

I know that metacity is in maintainance mode, and it is probably a low priority feature, but I thought it would be more appropriate to post it here anyway to get your feedback or suggestions.

The patch looks fine, but I'd rather do this sort of thing with an external script.  I doubt it's something we want in the master branch.
