Show All Windows shouldn't show minimized windows as equal

Reported by meatwadd...@gmail.com, Oct 16

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; CrOS x86_64 10895.78.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/69.0.3497.120 Safari/537.36
Platform: 10895.78.0 (Official Build) stable-channel eve

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Minimize a window
2. Hit the Show All Windows key on keyboard, or use gesture

What is the expected behavior?
Minimizing a window's intent is to get it out of the way of the current workflow. When using the show all gesture, those minimized windows are treated as equal citizens to those that are actively in use. Minimized windows should either not show up at all, or be much smaller in their own section at the bottom.

What went wrong?
There is no way to tell if a window is minimized or not. A simple use case would be to have 4 apps open. Chrome, an IDE, and a music player, and Slack. While working on a job, the user is constantly flipping between just Chrome and the IDE. They have minimized the other two windows. It would be very handy if when using the Show All Windows gesture or keyboard button, if those other 2 windows wouldn't show up, or were at least much easier to tell that they are not being used.

Did this work before? No
