i3 - improved tiling WM

Support _NET_WM_MOVERESIZE

Patch status: needinfo

Patch by Lukas K

Long description:

Add support for the _NET_WM_MOVERESIZE client message. This message
enables clients to initiate window moving or resizing. Toolkits like
Gtk3 use this message when the user drags a client-side decorated window
by its title bar. When Gtk detects that the window manager does not
support this client message, it uses a slow fallback implementation.

fixes #1432
