window: Freeze stack when calculating showing state

Browse source 
Constantly manipulating the stack caused severe stalls (several seconds)
with many open windows when switching workspaces. The cause for this was
that each show/hide call dealt with the stack in isolation, meaning if
you hid N windows, we'd manipulate and synchronize the stack N times,
potentially doing synchronous calls to the X server while doing so.

Avoid the most severe stalls by freezing the stack while calculating
showing; this made the worst case go from several seconds to around
10-20 ms, which is still bad, but by far not as bad.
