QDockWidget: call raise() when a dock widget starts to hover

When dock widget (1) starts to hover over another floating dock
widget (2), the latter animates a rubber band, to indicate to the user
that it is ready to accept a drop.

The creation of a QRubberBand moves (2) one position up in the Z order.
The consequence is a visual glitch: While
- the mouse cursor dragging (1) is still outside (2) and
- the visual rectangle of (1) starts overlapping (2)
(1) hides behind (2).
As soon as the mouse cursor enters (2), (1) suddenly comes on top and
(2) hides behind (1).

=> raise() 1 as soon as it starts hovering. That brings it on top of
the Z order, which is expected behavior.

Pick-to: 6.6 6.5
