fix: make spreadsheet overlays native popover, per instance (#9303) (CP: 25.2)#9495

Conversation
The spreadsheet attaches a `<div id="spreadsheet-overlays">` to host its overlay widgets (context menu, tooltips, comment overlays, popup buttons). It has historically lived in `<body>` to escape clipping by ancestor `overflow`/`transform` rules and as a singleton shared by all spreadsheet instances on the page. Switching the overlays to native popover changes the picture: every overlay enters the top layer regardless of DOM position, so neither the body-attachment nor the singleton are load-bearing anymore. This PR includes the native popover changes proposed in #9270 and adds the structural changes that the popover approach enables: - the container moves into the `<vaadin-spreadsheet>` light DOM, projected into the shadow root via a new `overlays` slot, with one container per instance; - the reference is threaded from JS into the GWT widget chain instead of being looked up by id; - `SpreadsheetConnector` — not `ApplicationConnection` — now owns the `SpreadsheetContextMenu`. Tooltips and the cell-comment overlay are created in `SheetWidget`'s constructor (before the host is known), so the container is wired in via a setter rather than a constructor argument. A side benefit: spreadsheet overlays inside a modal `Dialog` are interactive again. The modal sets `body { pointer-events: none }` to disable everything outside the dialog overlay; with the container now inside the dialog's slotted content, the overlays inherit `pointer-events: auto` from the dialog's overlay part instead of `pointer-events: none` from `<body>`.
