fix not updating _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW

Browse Source 
currently clients that set the input field of WM_HINTS to true
(c->neverfocus) will never be updated as _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW even
when they are focused. according to the ICCCM [0] the input
field of WM_HINTS tells the WM to either use or not use
XSetInputFocus(), it shouldn't have any relation to
_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW. EWMH spec [1] also does not mention any
relationship between the two.

this issue was noticed when launching games via steam/proton and
noticing that _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW was always wrong/stale (i.e not
updated to the game window).

for reference I've looked at bspwm [2] and it also seems to set
_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW regardless of whether the client has WM_HINTS
input true or not.
