Subject: [PATCH] w32: Improve foreground window activation.

* w32/main.c (dlg_proc): Replace ShowWindow with a minimize/restore
sequence followed by SetForegroundWindow and BringWindowToTop.
--

This reliably brings the dialog to the foreground, similar to the
raiseWindow approach used by pinentry-qt on Windows.  Implements
the suggestion from abbecc6 to "use the hack from our Qt Pinentry"
for reliable foreground activation.
