Subject: [PATCH] Clear urgency hint on the tabbed window itself, not only on
 the client

When an urgent client got focused, we cleared the urgency hint on it but
didn't clear the urgency hint on the tabbed window, which lead to the
tabbed window staying urgen (which was very annoying). This fixis that
problem.

This clears the urgency hint on tabbed when the urgency hint on the
offending tab gets cleared. Maybe a better approach would be to either
clear it when tabbed gets focused (Urgency is supposed to direct the
user's attention to the window, which has already happened if the
window is focused), or to only clear it once no tab is urgent (If
multiple tabs are urgent and the user focuses tabbed, selects one of
the urgent tabs. and then focuses another window, one of the tabs is
still urgent, which you could argue means that tabbed itself should be
urgent again).
Which of these should be prefered is ultimately up to the maintainers.
I just want to get rid of the flashing in my taskbar.
