Restore native widget mask support

[Dmitry A. Kuminov]

Support for native widget masks was disabled with the QT_PM_NATIVEWIDGETMASK macro in r1034. See ​http://svn.netlabs.org/qt4/ticket/203#comment:31 for more details.

When we meet an application that requires this, we will have to find a solution.

The main problem is that by doing a custom qt_WinSetWindowPos() we loose WM_VRNENABLED/WM_VRNDISABLED notifications which is vital for some applications (like VLC).

Myung-Hun suggested to try the following as a solution:

WinLockWindowUpdate( HWND_DESKTOP, hwnd );
WinSetWindowPos( hwnd, hwndInsertBehind, x, y, cx, cy, fl );
WinSetWindowPos( hwnd, hwndInsertBehind, x, y, cx, cy, fl | SWP_NOREDRAW );
WinLockWindowUpdate( HWND_DESKTOP, NULLHANDLE );

Actually, interesting idea. Most likely WinLockWindowUpdate() takes into account the flags set with WinSetVisibleRegionNotify() so that it should send WM_VRNENABLED to hwnd and all children interested in this message (and the second call should send them WM_VRNDISABLED).

However, I think that calling WinSetWindowPos() with no SWP_NOREDRAW even while locked, will still create update/invalid regions in a way we don't want (this is what qt_WinSetWindowPos() is supposed to fix in the first place), so this call is wrong.

This needs testing.

JFTR. Working on this task implies implementing QWidgetPrivate::setMask_sys() which is a no-op now. It's easy though (look at the relevant Qt3 function).
