win, event: delayed handling of reparent notify

Instead of handling reparent notify on the spot by updating the client
windows, setup a flag on the window and call win_recheck_client later.

This makes handling of complex scenarios easier. As example, see the
case in issue #299.

Note this is not a complete fix for #299
