iOS: activate window when input panel opens

When a window is active in Qt, it means that is has keyboard
focus. And on iOS, we only want a window to be rendered with
keyboard focus when the input panel is open. Therefore we
choose to call QWindowSystemInterface::handleWindowActivated()
as a response to the input panel opening or closing, rather than
from QPlatformWindow::requestActivateWindow(). And becoming or
resigning first responder is that same as showing or hiding
the input panel.
