Prevent additional taskbar entry when invoking the on-canvas color selector

Victor Wåhlström requested to merge victorw/krita:bugfix into master

This patch bypasses WM hints for the color selector popup in order to avoid extra taskbar entries. It also handles window activation events to avoid issues that comes with bypassing WM hints. See Qt::BypassWindowManagerHint and Qt::X11BypassWindowManagerHint at https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qt.html#WindowType-enum

Test Plan

  1. Create a new document
  2. Trigger the on-canvas color selector popup (shift+I)
  3. Observe that the on-canvas color selector popup no longer triggers a separate taskbar entry in KDE/Plasma environments

Please note if you run into input/WM issues related to the color selector or its popup. Especially on platforms other than KDE/Plasma.
