Don't put non-Shell windows in Ctrl+Alt+Tab if they wouldn't  be visible

Metacity's Ctrl+Alt+Tab would include X11 windows
with hints like GDK_WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_DOCK and
GDK_WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_DESKTOP (there are more conditions, but that's a
good start). If we're in normal mode, those are visible and it's OK
to display those in the Ctrl+Alt+Tab order, but if we're in the lock
screen or the unlock dialog, they're not visible and it doesn't make
sense to focus them.
