macos: autohide dock if quick terminal would conflict with it

Fixes #5328

The dock sits above the level of the quick terminal, and the quick
terminal frame typical includes the dock. Hence, if the dock is visible
and the quick terminal would conflict with it, then part of the terminal
is obscured.

This commit makes the dock autohide if the quick terminal would conflict
with it. The autohide is disabled when the quick terminal is closed.

We can't set our window level above the dock, as this would prevent
things such as input methods from rendering properly in the quick
terminal window.

iTerm2 (the only other macOS terminal I know of that supports a dropdown
mode) frames the terminal around the dock. I think this looks less
aesthetically pleasing and I prefer autohiding the dock instead.

We can introduce a setting to change this behavior if desired later.

Additionally, this commit introduces a mechanism to safely set
app-global presentation options from multiple sources without stepping
on each other.
