Add default handler for Alt+Tab while keyboard grab is enabled By default, we will minimize the window when we receive Alt+Tab with a full-screen keyboard grabbed window to allow the user to escape the full-screen application. Some applications like remote desktop clients may want to handle Alt+Tab themselves, so provide an opt-out via SDL_HINT_ALLOW_ALT_TAB_WHILE_GRABBED=0.

+ * The variable can be set to the following values:

+ for handling Alt+Tab while the keyboard is grabbed.
+ * "1" - SDL will minimize your window when Alt+Tab is pressed (default)
