Feature request: option to make popup always on top

Reported by gabr...@gsdb.net, Mar 15 2018

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/65.0.3325.162 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
It would be perfect if we could create a popup that stays on top of other windows. Linux users have this option natively by just right-clicking the popup title and Windows users can use 3rd-party softwares such as Deskpins or AutoHotkey, whereas macOS and Chrome OS users lack this feature.

chrome.windows.create({
    url: 'https://translate.google.com/m/translate',
    width: 350,
    height: 400,
    type: 'popup',
    alwaysOnTop: true // <-- This would be the new option
});

It is important to note that this has nothing to do with "panels" (type: 'panels'), that are long gone.

This feature is essential for taking notes, watching videos, watching live broadcasts, translating texts, chatting, calculating, and many other things.

What is the expected behavior?
