server-raises-window: preference variable

Default value: 1

Under X11, the -add and -wait flags cause the server instance of Epsilon to try to raise itself in the window order and set the input focus to itself, as Epsilon does under MS-Windows, if this variable is nonzero. Some window managers for X will keep programs from altering the window order in this way. Under macOS, these flags normally ask macOS to activate the XQuartz app and move it to the front, as well as asking XQuartz to make Epsilon the front window. Setting this variable to 2 makes Epsilon only ask XQuartz.
