Subject: [PATCH] SDL_ClaimWindowForGPUDevice() should fail for transparent
 windows

The GPU API doesn't currently support transparent windows (transparent swapchain effects doesn't seem possible on D3D12) so we should explicitly fail so users don't expect transparency and then not get it.

Fixes https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/12410
