Olivier Fourdan d2ca5cc26b display: Fix inconsistent behavior with demand attention
When focus stealing prevention kicks in, mutter would set the demand
attention flag on the window.

Focus stealing prevention would also prevent the window from being
raised and focused, which is expected as its precisely its purpose.

Yet, when that occurs, the user expects the window which has just been
prevented from being focused to be the next one in the MRU list, so
that pressing [Alt]-[Tab] would raise and give focus to that window.

This works fine when the window is placed on the primary monitor, but
not when placed on another monitor, in which case the window which has
been denied focus is placed ahead of the MRU list and pressing
[Alt]-[Tab] would leave the focus on the current window.

This is because of a mechanism in `meta_display_get_tab_list()` which
forces the windows with the demand attention flag set to be placed first
in the MRU list when they're placed on a workspace different from the
current one.

But because workspaces apply only to the primary monitor (by default),
the windows placed on other outputs have their workspace set to `NULL`
which forces them ahead of the MRU list by mistake.

Fix this by using the appropriate `meta_window_located_on_workspace()
function to check if the window is on another workspace.

Mutter

Mutter is a Wayland display server and X11 window manager and compositor library.

When used as a Wayland display server, it runs on top of KMS and libinput. It implements the compositor side of the Wayland core protocol as well as various protocol extensions. It also has functionality related to running X11 applications using Xwayland.

When used on top of Xorg it acts as a X11 window manager and compositing manager.

It contains functionality related to, among other things, window management, window compositing, focus tracking, workspace management, keybindings and monitor configuration.

Internally it uses a fork of Cogl, a hardware acceleration abstraction library used to simplify usage of OpenGL pipelines, as well as a fork af Clutter, a scene graph and user interface toolkit.

Mutter is used by, for example, GNOME Shell, the GNOME core user interface, and by Gala, elementary OS's window manager. It can also be run standalone, using the command "mutter", but just running plain mutter is only intended for debugging purposes.

The coding style used is primarily the GNU flavor of the GNOME coding style with some minor additions such as preferring stdint.h types over GLib fundamental types, and a soft 80 character line limit. However, in general, look at the file you're editing for inspiration.

Commit messages should follow the GNOME commit message guidelines. We require an URL to either an issue or a merge request in each commit.
