window-actor: Destroy the actor despite stuck animations

Robert Mader requested to merge rmader/mutter:fix-window-actor-destruction into master

Under very rare circumstances clients crash mid-animation at unexpected times. In the worst case this can lead to a window-actor not getting destroyed, stuck on the screen forever.

Since animations go through Gnome-Shell and therefore rely on relatively complex logic, make our destruction code a bit more robust, allowing it to destroy the actor even if unfinished animations are pending.

Fixes #863 (closed) and fixes #655 (closed)
