client: Complete client state even on different workspaces

When a client is restored from session management and ends up on
another, non visible workspace, xfwm4 would simply not show it.

But that's not sufficient, when the client is eventually shown on
workspace switch, the client window would end up in a weird state,
marked as "IsViewable" and showing reparented in "xwininfo -tree", yet
xprop would still return the properties from the WM parent window which
has no property set.

Many X11 mechanisms, including drag and drop, rely on X11 properties and
those would simply fail when that happens.

Make sure to complete the client frame even for windows placed on a
separate workspace, the clientShow() will eventually take care of not
making those visible, but the client window will be in a correct state.
