IPC: set ws reply "num" member to -1 when named

When a named workspace (i.e., a workspace that has a name that does not
begin with text that can be parsed as an integer greater than or equal
to zero) is represented by the ipc as a workspace json object such as
can be queried with `i3-msg -t get_workspaces`, set the num property to
-1 instead of json null.

This is for convenience of ipc consumers using type-constrained
languages such as C which have difficulty cleanly expressing nullable
integers.
