macOS: Only bring application forward on launch if needed
We override the macOS default behavior of not activating applications
unless they are launched from Finder. To play a bit nicer, we now
try to detect if we're already the frontmost application, and skip
the explicit activateIgnoringOtherApps if so.
Pick-to: 6.5 6.6
