[mutter] core: Focus on most recently focused window when switching workspaces

[Marge Bot <marge-bot src gnome org>]

commit 3a96ef023b9e881d51d8c3b89c59c5f2ffb18852
Author: Sebastian Wick <sebastian wick redhat com>

    core: Focus on most recently focused window when switching workspaces
    
    When switching workspaces we previously focused on whatever window is on
    top of the stack. If a window is marked as "always on top" then it would
    always receive focus when switching workspaces.
    
    Fixes #2240
    Fixes gnome-shell#5162
    Fixes #178
    Fixes #678
