Subject: [PATCH] dialog: Cocoa backend should reactivate the app after the
modal dialog.
Otherwise the window won't have focus until you click on it again. Calling
makeKeyAndOrderFront isn't enough to fix it, either.
This trick comes from a similar problem we solve in our
applicationDidFinishLaunching implementation: activate (give app focus to) the
system Dock, as something that definitely exists that isn't us and is harmless
to activate, and then activate us right afterwards. This unconfuses whatever
is getting confused inside Cocoa.
Fixes #12684.
