Zach Waugh 89483e7e89 feat: add macOS-only api to determine if app is currently active (#49622)
* feat: add macOS-only api to determine if app is currently active

You can `focus()` the app and get events for `did-become-active`, but there's currently not a way to directly check if your app is the active (foreground) application.

* test: add unit test for app.isActive api

* fix: ensure we hide app after showing in test

If the app is still active, it may affect other tests like dock.bounce
that behave differently depending on whether the app is active

Please make sure that you use the documents that match your Electron version. The version number should be a part of the page URL. If it's not, you are probably using the documentation of a development branch which may contain API changes that are not compatible with your Electron version. To view older versions of the documentation, you can browse by tag on GitHub by opening the "Switch branches/tags" dropdown and selecting the tag that matches your version.
