Fix confusing behavior when leaving window title empty in Auto-Type

- Modified Entry::autoTypeSequences() to use empty window title associations as fallback
- Empty window title associations now act as fallback when no other matches are found
- Fallback only applies when title matching is enabled to preserve existing behavior
- Added comprehensive test case to verify the new behavior
- Fixes issue where empty window title associations only appeared during search
