Added new Fl_Window:: flags() and methods:

 - set_menu_window() to mark a window as a menu window
 - set_tooltip_window() to mark a window as a tooltip window

and the corresponding get methods:

 - menu_window()
 - tooltip_window().

This is a first step for providing more information for correct parenting
and properties to support modern (X) window managers (STR #2230).

Please see also the information in fltk.development:

http://www.fltk.org/newsgroups.php?gfltk.development+v:8003

ToDo: Another point is to be able to handle menu windows and popup windows
that are opened while a menu is active properly (will follow later).
