bug#63187: 30.0.50; Tail of longer lines painted after end of nearby lines on macOS

[Kai Ma]

Hi everyone, I'm also bothered by this bug recently.  And it is
happening quite frequently for me.

Unfortunately, the proposed patch and putting
  [[NSGraphicsContext currentContext] flushGraphics];
in copyRect didn't work for me.

See the screencast at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLYPqsUFK5A .

I find that this bug happens more frequently if
1) the frame's alpha < 1.0, and
2) the frame is in the full screen mode, and
3) emacs is built with native compilation enabled.

(Not doing one or two of these does not prevent the bug from happening,
but seems to reduce the likelihood.)

FWIW, some version numbers:
- emacs 30.0.50 master branch
- macOS 13.4 (22F66), Intel
