Description

If we set focus on background window, it is brought to the front. In my use case it overlapped all other windows (and window was not moveable). I think the solution is to change line:
```
nk_insert_window(ctx, win, NK_INSERT_BACK);
```
of [nk_window_set_focus function](https://github.com/Immediate-Mode-UI/Nuklear/blob/11d8acfd4fbb9d0966161fa01d58be15be1974e3/src/nuklear_window.c#L668) to following:
```
if (win->flags & NK_WINDOW_BACKGROUND)
nk_insert_window(ctx, win, NK_INSERT_FRONT);
else
nk_insert_window(ctx, win, NK_INSERT_BACK);
```
This way background window gets focus and it remains in background.

Research direction

Start in src/nuklear_window.c at nk_window_set_focus, specifically the nk_insert_window call around line 668. Check how NK_WINDOW_BACKGROUND windows are ordered, then verify that focusing one leaves it behind other windows rather than bringing it to the front.
