Remove dmenumon variable
Reasoning: Since 2011 dmenu has been capable of working out which
monitor currently has focus in a Xinerama setup, making the use
of the -m flag more or less redundant.
This is easily demonstrated by using dmenu in any other window
manager.
There used to be a nodmenu patch that provided these changes:
https://git.suckless.org/sites/commit/ed68e3629de4ef2ca2d3f8893a79fb570b4c0cbc.html
but this was removed on the basis that it was very easy to work
out and apply manually if needed.
The proposal here is to remove this dependency from dwm. The
mechanism of the dmenumon variable could be provided via a patch
if need be.
The edge case scenario that dmenu does not handle on its own, and
the effect of removing this mechanism, is that if the user trigger
focusmon via keybindings to change focus to another monitor that
has no clients, then dmenu will open on the monitor containing the
window with input focus (or the monitor with the mouse cursor if
no windows have input focus).
If this edge case is important to cover then this can be addressed
by setting input focus to selmon->barwin in the focus function if
there is no client to give focus to (rather than giving focus back
to the root window).

consideration when deciding whether or not to allow dwm to quit
As per the original patch
https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/onlyquitonempty/
it used XQueryTree to get a count of the number of windows open to
determine whether to allow the window manager to exit.
This meant that the empty quit count variable would have to take
into account background windows such as the bar, which has side
effects like plugging in another monitor could mean that you would
not longer be allowed to quit dwm until the monitor is removed.
Likewise a systray and each systray icon would give a +1 to the
number of windows in the system.
This is unintuitive to understand and convoluted to explain, hence
the refactoring here to use the more sane approach of only counting
the number of client windows that the window manager manages.
This is an old idea which was intentionally not added to
dwm-flexipatch due to the aim of staying true to the original patch
(as in if you were to patch that manually you would get the same
experience as you had when trying the patch out in dwm-flexipatch).
