Redraw when toggling between windows (#9236)

Before this change we didn't consistently trigger focus events when
toggling between with windows `Cmd-backtick`. We only triggered them
when the OS decided to trigger a redraw.

That lead to a nasty bug that showed up in Vim mode where a cursor would
still be active in the hidden window, even though it was deactivated.

One then had to manually try to trigger a focus event in the new window
to activate the cursor.

With this change, we call `cx.refresh` when the window activation status
changed which triggers focus events consistently and fixes this bug.

With logging we can observe this:

Release Notes:

- Fixed focus not being consistently changed when switching between
multiple Zed windows via `Cmd-backtick`.
