Description

Briefly describe how the feature should work
When resizing tiled windows with super+mouse, the windows should not get resized to be bigger/smaller than the available space on the desktop.

Sway resize:
sway_resize

Gnome default resize:
gnome_default_resize

Gnome with tiling assistant resize:
gnome_tiling_assistant_resize

Explain why this feature should be added
Resizing would be much easier with mouse when windows are tiled.
