Context menus now close when the window becomes inactive (e.g., clicking to another window or app). Previously, menus would remain visible until the window regained focus. Uses `observe_window_activation` to detect when the window becomes inactive and calls `cancel` to dismiss the menu.

I'm not sure why yet, but this seems to have caused two problems: the terminal lost focus when window switching, and the macOS emoji picker stopped working. I'm reverting in #47835 |

Context menus close when the window becomes inactive (e.g., clicking to another window or app). Previously, menus would remain visible until the window regained focus.
This aligns Zed's context menu behavior with native macOS apps, where NSMenu automatically dismisses when the window loses focus. Users expect menus to close when switching windows or apps.
