hacking-howto: Update 'files' section
Instead of sorting alphanumerically, use a more opinionated order,
listing more "important" files towards the beginning.

Info in this section was a bit outdated. First of all, i3 contains many
more files that were not mentioned. Instead of trying to include
everything, I deleted some files with very obvious descriptions. We can
always re-add something if we want to add more details to it.

hacking-howto: Update git section
This still had some leftovers from the patch era. Since git and
specifically GitHub-like developing is much more mainstream now we don't
need to link introductions or even mention the idea of "patching".

The deleted "them" was referencing an old sentence referring to patches,
generated by the git cli. As emailing patches is not common at all for
GitHub repos, I removed the sentence altogether.

Also simplifies the 'branches' subsection a bit. Asking people to verify
their patch on master seems too much preliminary work and I doubt that
anyone does it anyway.

docs/hacking-howto: Update section topology
- Promote the "How to build?" sub-section to a top-level
  section ("Building i3")

- Convert the "Introduction" sub-section as the intro to the remaining
  contents of the "Using git / sending patches" section

- Keep "Which branch to use?" as a level-3 sub-section, thus making it
  a sub-section of what used to be the "Introduction" sub-section.

oblique 8a4a719093 Add support for _NET_WM_STATE_DEMANDS_ATTENTION.
_NET_WM_STATE_DEMANDS_ATTENTION indicates that some action in or with
the window happened. It's a weaker hint than urgency flag of WM_HINTS,
but some applications and almost all Qt applications use it instead of
WM_HINTS' urgency flag (one example is Skype).
