improve ratio calculation

[alexander-n8hgeg5e]

I added a RatioTile(ratio=1) object in my config and noticed that the
layout favored 3 upright elongated windows on a screen that is 1.125 higher than wide.
So they are really really slim, 1.125 tall and 0.333 wide.
The ratio is 1.125/(1/3)=3.375
But I expected them to be 3 wide "landscape" windows because that would be
1.125/3 tall and 1 wide, which is a better ratio because if you see the ratio
as longer_edge_of_window/shorter_edge_of_window then it is
1/(1.125/3)= 2.666
I think if this patch is applied it is needed to also change the default GOLDEN_RATIO value in the code. The golden_ratio value made windows wider and for me they were to high, so maybe it compensated
for this and I wouldn't have noticed it if I hadn't changed the default ratio.

Can you send some screenshots? and,

I think if this patch is applied it is needed to also change the default GOLDEN_RATIO value in the code.

can you suggest a better value here? I guess the golden ratio was mostly chosen as a novelty: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio

I noticed my patch does not work for the general use case. So I close this.
BTW, now I see it doesn't even depend on "self.ratio" anymore.
I need to say sorry for this, and thanks for the answer!
