desktop: allow re-focus between "globally active" views of the same PID

Commit 7e72bf975f changed behavior to not automatically focus xwayland
views using the "Globally Active" input model (WM_HINTS.inputs = false
but WM_TAKE_FOCUS listed in WM_PROTOCOLS).

One undesired side effect of this change is that when a dialog is
closed, the parent window is not re-focused if "Globally Active". This
issue is seen for example with JDownloader. It can be solved taking a
similar approach to what is done for unmanaged xwayland views: allow
automatic re-focus between views sharing the same PID.

Note that it's difficult to completely solve all of the focus issues
with Globally Active views without proper WM_TAKE_FOCUS support.
Implementing proper support is difficult since it requires wlroots
changes and would also mean waiting for a message round-trip in
desktop_focus_topmost_view().

Fixes (partially): 7e72bf975f
