Merge 15f9e1bea7 into 9352d8fe93

The previous implementation was based on the incorrect assumption that
the _NET_WM_STATE_ABOVE state is always retained on unmapped windows.
According to EWMH the WM should remove the _NET_WM_STATE property when
a window is unmapped.

This commit moves the adding of _NET_WM_STATE_ABOVE to before mapping
the window during glfwShowWindow.  The logic for removing
_NET_WM_STATE_ABOVE from hidden windows is retained, as EWMH still
allows WMs to leave the window property on unmapped window.

Fixes #2276
