Add a seprate option to modify the windows names of minimized windows #57

I use the Contexts app on macOS for windows switching (this is basically a fuzzy search alt tab alternative), in the app there is an option to ignore certain windows by their title.

Since I don't want to show minimized windows in Contexts, I picked the label "ignorethis", added that to the ignore list of Contexts and manually rename all my minimized windows to have "ignorethis" as their label, then when I remove it I once again /edit rename back to what normally was.

Now, it would be great to have an additional option to modify/update all minimized windows (since Winger already has a way to detect them and thus puts them at the bottom of the list) with a custom prefix/postfix just as we normally now have, but it's for all windows. This way we can even have a random string as a postfix which the can be used in alt-tab like apps like Contexts to ignore all windows that contain it.

I do understand that for some Winger is primarily used as the window switcher itself, but I use it for browser window management and tab migrator (between windows), and I imagine that others might find it useful.
