Really ignore loops in transient_for (FS#1124)

The code in property_update_wm_transient_for() looked at the transient_for
relation before the new transient got set. However, the code is supposed to
check if we get a loop after introducing this new transient_for.

Thus, if we arrive back at the client that we started from, we can be sure that
there is a cycle. Signal this by setting the loop counter high enough to abort
the loop and make the rest of this function do nothing.

No idea how I missed this case before nor why I cannot reproduce this on debian,
but can reproduce it on Arch just fine.
