    stack: Allow promoting transient windows to their parent's layer
    
    When a window that should be stacked above another one is placed in a lower
    layer than the other window, we currently allow promoting it to the higher
    layer when it has a "transient type". We should do the same when the window
    is an actual transient of the other window.
    
    This is particularly relevant for wayland windows, where types play a
    much smaller role: Transient windows like non-modal dialogs (and since
    commit 666bef7a, popup windows as well) currently end up underneath their
    always-on-top parent.
