Focus parents of dismissed transient windows in preference to the
window that most recently had keyboard focus. Fixes#157360.
* doc/how-to-get-focus-right.txt: Note the distinction between
"most recently used window" and "most recent to have keyboard
focus" that we are now making.
* src/workspace.c: (focus_ancestor_or_mru_window): rename from
meta_workspace_focus_mru_window, and first check whether we need
to focus an ancestor window before looking for the mru window,
(record_ancestor): helper function for
focus_ancestor_or_mru_window,
(meta_workspace_focus_default_window): update due to the function
rename from meta_workspace_focus_mru_window to
focus_ancestor_or_mru_window

Provide more documentation to make it easier for people to
contribute to Metacity
* HACKING: Add lots of information to extend this document: more
on relevant standards and X properties, lots of information on
debugging and testing, and add a list of some other important
things to read; also move some information to
src/code-overview.txt and organize this file into sections.
* src/code-overview.txt: New file including some small parts from
the old HACKING file and lots of new stuff. This file gives a
brief overview of some of the bigger structures and files, with
guides for a variety of task categories providing places to start
looking in the code and things to look for.

Focus the no_focus_window if no suitable window is in the mru list
(should fix the almost contrived extra issue found in #147475)
* doc/how-to-get-focus-right.txt: We no longer need to lie about
only focusing panels upon explicit request.
* src/workspace.c: (meta_workspace_focus_top_window): removed this
function--it was more code than needed and was unreliable anyway,
(meta_workspace_focus_mru_window): if a suitable window isn't in
the mru list, focus the no_focus_window instead of calling
focus_top_window.
