[Lazarus] Use rare Win32 API in LCLIntf.SetForegroundWindow

[Denis Kozlov]

I would advise strongly against the use of SwitchToThisWindow API 
function in Lazarus. Mainly because it states in the docs: /This 
function is not intended for general use. It may be altered or 
unavailable in subsequent versions of Windows./

SwitchToThisWindow function:
