Aryadev Chavali 879e7d351d Add focusonactive patch to DWM
When an application tags itself as "active" i.e. has something to do,
this patch will ensure that we're focused on it.  Works on multiple
monitors!

Subject: [PATCH] Activate a window in response to _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW
By default, dwm response to client requests to _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW client
messages by setting the urgency bit on the named window.
This patch activates the window instead.
Both behaviours are legitimate according to
https://specifications.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/wm-spec-latest.html#idm140200472702304
One should decide which of these one should perform based on the message
senders' untestable claims that it represents the end-user. Setting the
urgency bit is the conservative decision. This patch implements the more
trusting alternative.
It also allows dwm to work with `wmctrl -a` and other external window
management utilities
