QQuickItem::forceActiveFocus(): actually force active focus

It was trying to get by with setFocus() but that doesn't always work,
in cases when the item's d->focus flag is true (leftover state) but
it doesn't actually have focus anymore after a reparenting scenario.

Item.focus represents the intention to be focused when possible, and
does not necessarily change due to environmental circumstances, such as
having its parent reparented.  QQuickItem::setFocus(true) returns early
if the new requested focus state is the same as the stored d->focus;
so it was not enough for foceActiveFocus() to call only setFocus().

In the bug, TextInput and Loader both get stuck in the state
d->focus == true, so forceActiveFocus() did not do anything before.
