stack: Allow promoting transient windows to their parent's layer

When a window that should be stacked above another one is placed in a lower
layer than the other window, we currently allow promoting it to the higher
layer when it has a "transient type". We should do the same when the window
is an actual transient of the other window.

This is particularly relevant for wayland windows, where types play a
much smaller role: Transient windows like non-modal dialogs (and since
commit 666bef7a, popup windows as well) currently end up underneath their
always-on-top parent.
