Title: Expo view as grid (optional)

I'm working on displaying the Expo view as a grid, if enabled by Cinnamon Settings -> Workspaces -> "Display Expo view as grid" (defaulted to false); otherwise the display falls back to a single row.

At present, this is work in progress. Although I'm generally satisfied with the visual outcome, I'm not sure I have kept all the nuances of the original code. It should also be said that adding or removing workspaces even at a slow pace will quite often cause freezes or crashes in the animation phase.
