window-props: don't set override-redirect window as parent

Before commit c656c658940d override-redirect windows was not
registered with meta_display_register_x_window. This means
that Metacity was treating WM_TRANSIENT_FOR hint as invalid
if it was pointing to override-redirect window.

EWMH specification [1] says that WM_TRANSIENT_FOR property is
defined for managed windows and extends its usage for
override-redirect windows. Client should set WM_TRANSIENT_FOR
on override-redirect window if it is child/popup for another
window.

As specification does not say anyting about using
override-redirect windows as parent for managed windows and
because it causes crashes in Metacity ignore WM_TRANSIENT_FOR
if it is pointing to override-redirect window.
