Don't resurrect invisible child frames when rebuilding parent links

Browse source 
On the NS port, -[EmacsWindow setParentChildRelationships] reattaches
every child frame to its parent via -addChildWindow:ordered:, which also
orders the child window onto the screen.  This runs whenever the
parent/child relationships are rebuilt, e.g., when entering non-native
fullscreen, which allocates a fresh EmacsWindow whose initializer
rebuilds the relationships.  A child frame that Emacs had made invisible
(e.g. a corfu/company completion popup) was thereby brought back as a
stale, non-responsive child frame.  Emacs never repaints to clear it
because frame_redisplay_p trusts FRAME_VISIBLE_P on the NS port and
avoids dealing with the child frame when it is marked as invisible.

Native fullscreen does not trigger this: -toggleFullScreen: hands off to
AppKit without allocating a new window, so the rebuild never runs.

A hidden child frame is normally detached from its parent already: Emacs
hides it with -orderOut: (ns_make_frame_invisible), which per Apple's
documentation removes a child window from its parent before ordering it
out.  The fix is therefore not to re-attach a child while it is
invisible; ns_make_frame_visible already reinstates the parent/child link
when the frame is shown again.

* src/nsterm.m ([EmacsWindow setParentChildRelationships]): Only
re-attach a child window when the frame is marked visible.
(ns_make_frame_visible): Explain, with a reference to Apple's
documentation, why the parent/child link must be reinstated on show.
