mac: the composer accepts the activation click (#1070)

* mac: the composer accepts the activation click

Clicking into the backgrounded app on the composer only activated the
app — macOS swallows the activation click unless the view opts in, so
the click that felt ignored never reached any view (ClickLab: dead-spell
activations with ZERO mouseDowns logged). With the post-activation
render hitch delaying the caret, that swallow reads as a dead composer.
acceptsFirstMouse, like Messages' input.
