Remove `exwm-worspace-number'

No longer fill initial workspace list, nor limit the number of
workspaces to `exwm-worspace-number'.

Users are free to create as many as they like by hitting 'C-x 5 2' or
running `make-frame'.

The initial workspace list can be set up by creating frames in a
configuration file.  For example, to start up with 4 workspaces:

    (dolist (i 3)
      (make-frame))

The interactive workspace switcher is improved to support selecting
workspaces with a many-digits position.

	* exwm-workspace.el (exwm-workspace-number): Remove variable, as
	we no longer have a fixed number of workspaces.
	(exwm-workspace--switch-map)
	(exwm-workspace--switch-map-nth-prefix)
	(exwm-workspace--switch-map-select-nth): Improve support for
	selecting workspaces with multiple-digit positions (e.g. workspace
	number 12).
	(exwm-workspace--add-frame-as-workspace, exwm-workspace--init):
	Remove limit on number of workspaces.
	(exwm-workspace--init): Stop creating workspaces at startup.
	* exwm-config.el (exwm-config-default): Bind keys to namespaces
	0-9 in the default configuration.
