Make the drop gate a state question, not a geometry one

The gate that decides whether a native file drop is accepted has been wrong
twice in opposite directions, both times because it tried to be precise about
*which points* a dialog covers:

- Round 1 asked `el.contains(elementFromPoint(x, y))` and was handed the inner
  xterm host while the overlays are siblings, so the always-rendered
  Following/Paused button made the terminal's top-right corner permanently
  refuse drops.
- Round 2 replaced that with "is a blocking overlay painted here?" and deleted
  the document-wide gate. `elementFromPoint` returns the *topmost* element, and
  ToastHost is z-[60] against the Modal backdrop's z-50 in the same stacking
  context — so a refused drop pushed a toast, the toast covered the dialog, and
  the next drop released on it was reported clear and landed in the directory
  the dialog was covering. The gate armed its own hole.

Split the two questions instead of merging them:

- Geometry answers *whose* drop it is (rect hit test, unchanged), so exactly
  one listener speaks for a drop and a hidden pane's zero-size rect still keeps
  TerminalView and FilesTab from both firing.
- `dropIsBlocked` answers whether the app should take a drop at all —
  document-wide, no z-index in it. While a modal or blocking overlay is on
  screen anywhere, every drop is refused.

There is no `elementFromPoint` call left, so no future overlay can become a
drop hole by being painted high enough and no chrome can become a dead zone by
being painted at all. The cost is over-refusal while a dialog is open, in a
state the user entered deliberately, announced, writing nothing.

Also:
- `[aria-hidden="true"]` no longer disqualifies a blocker. It is not a
  visibility statement (it sits on visible decorative content), so a blocker
  nested in such a wrapper would have silently stopped blocking.
- Modal drops `data-blocks-drop` when its pane hides, and moves focus out of
  itself rather than leaving it inside a `display:none` panel.
- The refusal notice stays `kind: "info"` (an expected refusal is not an
  error, and an error card never auto-dismisses) and carries a `dedupeKey`, so
  repeated refusals replace rather than stack.

Tests: mutation-checked against the previous implementation — four in
dropTarget.test.ts, two in each of TerminalView/FilesTab, two in Modal.
