[LyX/master] Raise the window in single-instance mode

[Enrico Forestieri]

commit a73c2c2b9342edd875810da700692d908f9ac624
Author: Enrico Forestieri <forenr at lyx.org>
Date:   Tue Apr 21 21:55:20 2020 +0200

    Raise the window in single-instance mode
    
    Other than issuing a warning on the console, now the LyX window is
    raised when in single-instance mode and no files to load are specified.
    In this way, the user is aware that something happened after double
    clicking the program icon. To support this functionality the new lfun
    window-raise has been introduced.
