alt + tab resets fullscreen mode

[D1mon]

alt + tab resets fullscreen mode and does not get back up.
Reproduce the problem:
I opened the video player in full-screen mode and pressed alt + tab.

Awesome 4.2, can confirm that behaviour here also.

This is because setting ontop = true for the currently selected client. See awesomeWM/awesome#667.

Please try #27.

An unsolved issue there still is that with a fullscreen and ontop client on a tiled layout, the fullscreen client will not be visible when selected.
A solution might be to set "ontop" then - ensuring basically that it becomes visible, but I am not sure if that's good?!

Came up with awesomeWM/awesome#2512 for awesome itself - would be nice to have this in the next release, but a fix for this (#27) is still valid, of course.

The problem that a selected client might not be visible in the end is another issue though, and not really the responsibility of awesome-cyclefocus I guess. Still interested about ideas, of course.

JFI: #28 added support for a raise_client option that would allow to do something like checking if the client is visible (not trivial though I guess), and then also setting ontop.

After a pull to 127a082 the problem seems to be fixed, thanks!
