Support click-through of transparency

As commented here, https://github.com/atom/atom-shell/pull/949#issuecomment-87087841 - transparent windows unfortunately are of limited use unless you can click through the transparent area. I noticed that in the [documentation](https://github.com/atom/atom-shell/blob/master/docs/api/frameless-window.md#limitations) it is stated that this is blocked by an upstream bug. The nw.js project DOES have [support for this](https://github.com/nwjs/nw.js/wiki/Transparency#click-through-transparency), but i'm not sure how different their implementation is... I think this is worth the issue to track discussion and implementation, so here it is.
