feat(taskbar): add minimal style option for workspace labels

When enabled, workspace labels in the taskbar show as colored text
without the colored disc background. The fill color (primary for
active, secondary for occupied) becomes the text color instead.

This mirrors the minimal style option already available in the
workspaces widget.
