	Avoid new windows being obscured by the focus window (and thus
	possibly lost).  Fixes #166524.

	* src/place.c: new MetaWindowDirection enum,
	(find_most_freespace): new function to find where there is the
	most space available around the focused window,
	(meta_window_place): if a window is denied focus and the window
	overlaps the focused window, retry the first-fit algorithm only
	paying attention to the focus window position and if that fails
	just find the location on the screen with the most space
	available.

	* src/window.h: (struct MetaWindow): new
	denied_focus_and_not_transient bitfield

	* src/window.c: (meta_window_new_with_attrs): initialize
	denied_focus_and_not_transient, (meta_window_show): set and unset
	the denied_focus_and_not_transient field appropriately
