Don't modify WM_HINTS in client_set_urgent()

To quote from ICCCM (§4.1.2): "The window manager will not change properties
written by the client."

We tried to do this anyway to update WM_HINTS so that the current urgency state
is reflected. Apparently, Chrome does a similar read-modify-set cycle and the
resulting race condition meant that the "accepts input" hint on Chromium's
window was permanently disabled.

This helps with https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/issues/670, but I still
think that Chrome shouldn't try to implement "please don't focus me when I do
the following" by temporarily claiming "please don't ever focus me".
