Subject: [PATCH] Add centeredmaster layout

This is a port of centeredmaster patch for dwm:
    https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/centeredmaster

centeredmaster centers the nmaster area on screen, using mfact * monitor
width & height, with the stacked windows distributed to the left and
right. It can be selected with [Alt]+[c].

With one and two clients in master respectively this results in:
