Tomas Janousek 08ec79eec1 X.H.EwmhDesktops: Improve interface for hooking window activation
https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/pull/192 introduced a breaking change:

  * `XMonad.Hooks.EwmhDesktops`

    `ewmh` function will use `logHook` for handling activated window. And now
    by default window activation will do nothing.

This breaking change can be avoided if we designed that a bit
differently. #192 changed `ewmhDesktopsEventHook` to invoke `logHook`
instead of focusing the window that requested activation and now
`logHook` is supposed to invoke a `ManageHook` through `activateLogHook`
which consults a global `NetActivated` extensible state to tell if it's
being invoked from `ewmhDesktopsEventHook`. This seems convoluted to me.

A better design, in my opinion, is to invoke the `ManageHook` directly
from `ewmhDesktopsEventHook`, and we just need a way to configure the
hook. Luckily, we now have `X.U.ExtensibleConf` which makes this
straightforward. So we now have a `setEwmhActivateHook`, and the
activation hook defaults to focusing the window, undoing the breaking
change.
