We call scratchpad_show() on _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW requests if the request
came from a pager. This is consistent with the i3 »focus« command because
we assume the user requested to see the window, so we do the only
sensible thing.
fixes#2455
_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW:
> The window ID of the currently active window or None if no window has
> the focus.
This fixes a bug that would not update _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW when focus
changed to an i3 container without a window such as a branch or
workspace content container.
Allow client requests of type _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW to switch workspaces if
they indicate they are a pager. Otherwise, set the urgency hint on that
con to indicate that something happened.
This allows task switchers like skippy-xd to work properly.
