Subject: QtPlatformHeaders/Windows: Add function to set window activation
 behavior.

The Windows OS by default does not activate windows when the calling
process is not active; only the taskbar entry is flashed as not to
distract the user.
Nevertheless, for some use cases, it is desirable to activate the window
also in the inactive state.
Introduce an enumeration specifying the behavior to QtPlatformHeaders
and employ a workaround using the Win32 API AttachThreadInput() to attach
to other processes while setting the foreground window to achieve
the AlwaysActivateWindow behavior.

Task-number: QTBUG-14062
Task-number: QTBUG-37435
Change-Id: I79cb6cd3fab29d55b5d3db7f9af01bbaa5096a37
