When growing or shrinking a view by snapping to an edge, a client may
ignore the requested size and instead keep its original size or
substitute a different (possibly constrained) size. In this case, the
view may not actually contact the snapped edge, and a subsequent snap
attempt will just keep re-trying (and failing) to contact the same ege.
To mitigate this, remember the last-snapped view, snapping direction and
offset of the snapping edge in snap.c; when re-attempting a snap for the
same view in the same direction, ignore the edge that was last "hit", to
allow snapping to progress beyond the problematic edge.
...to edges actually encountered by motion during interactive moves and
resizes.
In addition, ignore edge resistance and attraction for minimized views.
This builds on the work of @Consolatis in #1018.

This is a useful (if lesser-known) feature of at least a few popular X11
window managers, for example Openbox and XFWM4. Typically right-click on
the maximize button toggles horizontal maximize, while middle-click
toggles vertical maximize.
Support in labwc uses the same configuration syntax as Openbox, where the
Maximize/ToggleMaximize actions have an optional "direction" argument:
horizontal, vertical, or both (default). The default mouse bindings match
the XFWM4 defaults (not sure what Openbox has by default).
Most of the external protocols still assume "maximized" is a Boolean,
which is no longer true internally. For the sake of the outside world,
a view is only "maximized" if maximized in both directions.
Internally, I've taken the following approach:
- SSD code decorates the view as "maximized" (i.e. hiding borders) only
if maximized in both directions.
- Layout code (interactive move/resize, tiling, etc.) generally treats
the view as "maximized" (with the restrictions that entails) if
maximized in either direction. For example, moving a vertically-
maximized view first restores the natural geometry (this differs from
Openbox, which instead allows the view to move only horizontally.)
v2: use enum view_axis for view->maximized
v3:
- update docs
- allow resizing if partly maximized
- add TODOs & corrections noted by Consolatis
Adds functions for calculation of distances between window edges, as
well as for window growing and shrinking.
All calculations are based on the "pending" geometry.
Ignored from snapping:
- views that do not share the same output
- minimized views
- maximized views
- views that are neither:
- part of the current workspace
- part of the always-on-top tree
