Added a toggle for adaptive_sync

[Emil-Engberg]

When i don't play a game i don't want adaptive_sync enabled.(Because the backlight flickers when screen updates). But it was quite inconvenient to go into the sway config to enable and disable it every time. So i added a toggle option to adaptive_sync. For example in my config:
bindsym $mod+p output DP-3 adaptive_sync toggle makes it so that every time i press $mod + p the adaptive_sync for DP-3 gets toggled on or off.

parse_boolean already supports "toggle". It just needs to be fed the current value.

Here's my current approach to automatically toggling VRR: #5076 (comment)

@GrabbenD Yes that is a solution. Sadly the display flicker is still visible when in full screen. Most of the time that don't matter but i sometimes like to have my browser window and other apps fullscreen. I know you can create a toggle with a bash script but when i saw that other options that was on or off had a toggle. I thought that it would be more convenient to just add a toggle to adaptive_sync. I don't need adaptive sync so often that i need it to be enabled automatically. But maybe that just me?

sway/commands/output/power.c can be used as inspiration.
