macos: hide dock globally if the dock conflicts

Related to #5361

The fix in 5361 wasn't sufficient since it only applied if our app was
in the foreground. Our quick terminal is a non-activating NSPanel to
allow it to work on any space (fullscreen included). This means that
Ghostty doesn't become the active app when the quick terminal is shown
and another app is in the foreground.

To work around this, we now hide the dock globally when the quick
terminal is shown AND the dock is in a conflicting position. We restore
this state when the quick terminal is hidden, loses focus, or Ghostty is
quit.
