Use MetaStackTracker to avoid a round-trip XQueryTree()

Browse Source 
With MetaStackTracker, it's no longer necessary to XQueryTree to
get a reasonably-up-to-date view of the server stacking order.

Add some comments explaining unclear aspects of
raise_window_relative_to_managed_windows() and with future possible
improvements.

* This function is used to avoid raising a window above popup
* menus and other such things.
*
* FIXME This is sort of an expensive function, should probably
* do something to avoid it. One approach would be to reverse
* the stacking algorithm to work by placing each window above
* the others, and start by lowering a window to the bottom
* (instead of the current way, which works by placing each
* window below another and starting with a raise)
* The key to the operation of this function is that we are expecting
* at most one window to be added at a time. If xwindow is newly added,
* then its own stack position will be too high (the frame window
* is created at the top of the stack), but if we ignore xwindow,
* then the *next* managed window in the stack will be a window that
* we've already stacked.
*
* We could generalize this and remove the assumption that windows
* are added one at a time by keeping an explicit ->stacked flag in
* MetaWindow.
*
* An alternate approach would be to reverse the stacking algorithm to
* work by placing each window above the others, and start by lowering
* a window to the bottom (instead of the current way, which works by
* placing each window below another and starting with a raise)
