Add z-index theme token and visibility to Popover placementStyle

- Add `--rui-Popover__z-index` token (default: `auto`) so consumers can
  control the Popover's stacking context without needing attribute selectors
  or class injection.
- Allow `visibility` through `cleanPlacementStyle` so callers can hide the
  Popover before its initial position is computed (flash guard).
- Document both additions in README Theming table and placementStyle prop JSDoc.

+### z-index
+
+By default, the Popover's `z-index` is `auto`, which means it participates in
+the stacking context of its nearest positioned ancestor. This works well in most
+cases, but can cause the Popover to appear behind other positioned elements such
+as sticky headers, fixed toolbars, or modals.
+
+When that happens, set `--rui-Popover__z-index` to a numeric value high enough
+to place the Popover above the conflicting layer. The override can be applied
+globally or scoped to a specific context:
+
+```css
+/* Global override */
+:root {
+  --rui-Popover__z-index: 1000;
+}
+
+/* Scoped override */
+.my-context {
+  --rui-Popover__z-index: 1000;
+}
+```
