Transient windows are always kept above their parent,
and don't occupy any space in the taskbar, which is useful
for dialogs. Also, when transient is used, it is important
to bind windows to the correct parent.

This commit adds transient annotations to all dialogs,
ensures usage of the correct parent for error and
confirmation popups, and, as a side job, makes gitk
preserve the create tag dialog window in case of errors.
