xwm: do not restack surfaces on activation

Currently, upon activating a surface, wlroots restacks it on top of all
others.

This may not necessarily be correct from the calling compositor's point
of view, where having focus may not imply being top-of-stack (e.g.,
focusing a window under an always-on-top window).

In Sway's case, this means that focused tiling windows will always be on
top of floating windows, at least in the order communicated to X11 apps.
This breaks drag-and-drop from a focused tiling X11 window to a floating
X11 window which partially obscures the former.

This is a breaking change; to retain the previous behavior, users that
were calling

  wlr_xwayland_surface_activate(xsurface, true);

should now be calling

  wlr_xwayland_surface_activate(xsurface, true);
  wlr_xwayland_surface_restack(xsurface, NULL, XCB_STACK_MODE_ABOVE);
