dialogs incorrect position on transparent panels

SUMMARY

Making panels fully transparent after "Popups now align with the panel mask" https://invent.kde.org/plasma/libplasma/-/merge_requests/1148 part of https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/4451 breaks positioning of popups.

Setting PlasmaCore.Types.NoBackground to the panel containmentItem by using either https://github.com/sanjay-kr-commit/panelTransparencyToggleForPlasma6 or https://github.com/luisbocanegra/plasma-panel-colorizer first one recommended as mine does more things that are unrelated to this issue.

Results in the panel creating an empty mask https://github.com/KDE/plasma-workspace/blob/c809de7c72dcc7e94eeed5a0b09cb81f5512c2e0/shell/panelview.cpp#L1363C1-L1366C28

```cpp
void PanelView::updateMask()
{
...
    if (m_backgroundHints == Plasma::Types::NoBackground) {
        KWindowEffects::enableBlurBehind(this, false);
        KWindowEffects::enableBackgroundContrast(this, false);
        setMask(QRegion()); // <- this line
```

Which successfully removes the blur and contrast (allowing the panel to be fully transparent) **but breaks the positioning of popups**.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Install https://github.com/sanjay-kr-commit/panelTransparencyToggleForPlasma6 KDE Store url is https://store.kde.org/p/2107649
2. Add it to a panel to make it transparent
3. Expand or hover on widgets

OBSERVED RESULT

Dialogs and tooltips on the left/top of the screen appear over the panel

EXPECTED RESULT

Dialogs and tooltips appear below/next to the panel instead of above it
