Allow mouse bindings to run on the root window.

Previously, mouse bindings could only be run when a window was present,
by using --whole-window. Such bindings would not work on empty
workspaces. However, this is a valid usecase for bindings like

    bindsym $mod+button4 workspace prev
    bindsym $mod+button5 workspace next

Hence, we need to grab the root window as well and run bindings on it.
