Uli Schlachter 2a6d5d207d client_stack(): Only stack windows once per mainloop
I was creating 2000 wiboxes in a loop (don't ask) and creating them took
forever. According to callgrind, there were about 2 million calls to
xcb_configure_window() and most (if not all) of them were from client_stack().
Awesome spent 70% of its cpu time in these client_stack() calls.

client_stack() is O(N^2) on the number of clients (it walks the list of clients
itself twice and each call to client_stack_above() walks the list too) and O(N)
on the number of wiboxes (it walks the wibox list twice). So obviously calls to
it should be rare.

This patch makes client_stack() only set a flag which is later checked. This
should reduce the number of restacks to the bare minimum. With this patch,
neither xcb_configure_window() nor anything else client_stack() related shows
up as having a lot of calls or using much cpu time.
