I think it would be useful to add an option to disable auto-raise on window cycle (alt+tab). Usually when I cycle windows it is simply to change the keyboard focus, and auto-raise often covers other windows which I specifically don't want covered by the newly focused window.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. open two windows and overlap them so one mostly covers the other
2. focus on the raised window
3. pretend you want to type on lower window while still seeing upper window...
4. press alt+tab, or whatever you use to cycle windows

Actual Results:
The window you wanted to type in has covered the window you wanted to still be able to see, thus ruining your afternoon.

Expected Results:
An xfwm4 option to prevent auto-raise!

Version: 4.4.x
