messageTray: use a "hot corner" to summon the tray

Instead of leaving the tray covering the whole last pixel row when it's
hidden, hide it completely. This avoids mouse events not being delivered to
application windows on the last pixel row.

To summon the tray we use a single reactive pixel on the corner.

The only potential issue is that you cannot access the tray by hovering somewhere near the right when you have a lot of sources. But I think this is a quirk anyway, so go for it.

messageTray: use a "hot corner" to summon the tray

Meanwhile I noticed that the corner pixel wouldn't let events through to the
summary area item underneath it (clicks to activate the item wouldn't
work). It would also cause hover events when moving the pointer from elsewhere
in the summary area to it which closes the tray.

I fixed both these issues by stacking the corner actor underneath the tray
meaning that when the tray is up the corner doesn't get events.

Sorry to have you re-review this, thanks.
