fix(dock): hold the hover state while the pointer is on a dropdown

At this iced revision the layer under an overlay that wants the pointer
gets an unavailable cursor, not a levitating one, so hover_zone still
read a pointer on an open linetype list as leaving the edge. Keep the
last state on an unavailable cursor and exit only on a position outside
the bounds or the pointer leaving the window. A test drives a real open
dropdown through iced's UserInterface for both mouse_area and the zone.
