Here’s a series of patches which work towards improving the shell window stacking. They clean up the code and implement a more organised approach to stacking. They add a new test client, weston-stacking, for testing window stacking and ordering.
I don’t claim the ordering they impose is perfect, but it seems to at least be on parity with the current behaviour, and fixes the following bug:

Open questions for review:
• This probably doesn’t work with non-shell_surface surfaces.
• Do we expect popup (and transient)-type surfaces to be parentable to other popup or transient surfaces? Or is the hierarchy at most one layer deep?
