window-actor: Force full actor geometry sync when mapping

Normally we bail out in `sync_actor_geometry()`. The comment there
states:
```
Normally we want freezing a window to also freeze its position; this allows
windows to atomically move and resize together, either under app control,
or because the user is resizing from the left/top. But on initial placement
we need to assign a position, since immediately after the window
is shown, the map effect will go into effect and prevent further geometry
updates.
```

The signal for the initial sync originates in `MetaWindow` though and predates
`xdg_toplevel_set_maximized`, which again calls `meta_window_force_placement`,
triggering the signal too early. As a result, Wayland clients that start up
maximized have a wrong map animation, starting in the top-left corner.

In order to fix this without changing big parts of the geometry logic and risking
regressions, force the initial sync again before mapping.

Solution suggested by Jonas Ådahl.
