A video showing the issue

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Recieve a notification (for example, a file transfer)
2. Pin an applet (the notification will slide to a position above the applet
3. Focus on another window

OBSERVED RESULT
The notification moves downwards to its previous position and thus covering the applet below it

EXPECTED RESULT
The notification should stay above the applet so it's still visible

applets/notifications: Fix notifications jumping around when dialogs close or lose focus

Keep around the last non-notification focused Plasma dialog, so we can maintain
stable notification positioning even if we have a Plasma dialog which loses focus
but stays visible (think pinned System Tray applets).

This also fixes notifications jumping down on close, since now the dialog used to
calculate the notification popups's offset is never itself a NotificationPopup.
