Fixes #236.

Adds a timeout to the Alt+Tab animation and cancels the timeout on close(). That way the animation doesn't show until you hold down Alt+Tab for some time, so you can quickly switch between windows without an annoying animation.

This pull request is not ready for review. A random window is flickering in front before the correct window is shown if I disable window dimming. Does anyone know what is causing this? The window dimming part is critical to solving #236. @donadigo

This patch is abandoned since I don't use elementaryOS anymore and I don't know of any way to test this from my current environment. I'm very sorry. Maybe someone else can take this patch up.

What I recall is that the quick window switching worked but a random window flickers for a few milliseconds before you get to the right window. I was never able to figure out the reason behind the flickering.

However, the patch can be merged if the merge conflicts are solved and you don't mind the flickering.
