X11: Handle WM_STATE transitions to detect Withdrawn/Iconic states (#14770)

When running SDL3 applications on tiling window managers like i3, moving a window to an invisible workspace does not trigger SDL_WINDOW_MINIMIZED or SDL_WINDOW_HIDDEN. Consequently, the application continues rendering at full speed (VSync dependent), consuming unnecessary GPU/CPU resources even when not visible.

When a workspace is hidden, i3(and possible other tiling WMs) unmaps the container and sets the client window state to WithdrawnState (via the WM_STATE atom). Previously, the SDL3 X11 backend ignored changes to WM_STATE during PropertyNotify events, failing to detect this transition.
