window: Allow activation on non-active workspaces with proper timestamps

Browse Source 
Our focus stealing prevention is still mostly inherited from metacity;
in particular, a (non-transient) window that is not on the current
workspace will not be given focus. This behavior made sense in the
GNOME 2 days, where workspaces were separated much more strictly.
However this is no longer the case in GNOME 3 - activating a launcher
will switch workspaces if necessary, and so will the app switcher.
There is no good reason to not do the same for other user actions
like clicking a URL or activating a search result, so allow activation
of windows on non-active workspaces if a proper timestamp is supplied,
assuming that this is a strong enough indication that we are dealing
with a legitimate user action.
