fix(gtk): resolve window focus jumping during rapid typing in split windows

This commit fixes a critical bug where focus would jump between windows
during rapid typing in a split window setup. The root cause was that
the rendering code was reading mutable active_window_ state during
asynchronous multi-window redraws, causing race conditions.

Changes:
- Added cached_active_window_ member to GtkEditor to cache the active
  window at the time of focus changes
- Modified draw_window() to use cached_active_window_ instead of
  querying core_->active_window() during rendering
- Updated key press, mouse click, and context menu handlers to maintain
  the cached value
- Re-enabled next_window() function with proper implementation (was
  previously disabled as a band-aid fix)
- Made next_window_safe() deprecated wrapper for backwards compatibility

Technical Details:
The bug occurred because:
1. Each keystroke triggers redraw of ALL windows
2. GTK redraws windows asynchronously
3. Each window's draw_window() independently queried active_window_
4. If active_window_ changed between window redraws, viewport sizes
   and cursor rendering would be inconsistent

The fix caches active_window_ at focus change time and uses this cached
value consistently throughout a redraw cycle, eliminating the race condition.

Tested:
- Typing rapidly in split windows - cursor remains stable
- Window switching with C-x o works correctly
- All window cycling commands function as expected
