Keyboard navigation in StartCenter and Template Manager

[V Stuart Foote]

@Kendy, @Zolnai

Thanks for the work on the backingwindow.cxx and thumbnailview.cxx keyboard
navigation to resolve fdo#71763 and fdo#71764.  Will test the F6 navigation
as the next TB builds of master roll around.

Since you've already gotten so far into the key board navigation might I be
able to encourage you to tackle two of the remaining keyboard annoyances
with Thumbnail views in both SC and TM.   

The major one is fdo#72287 (
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72287 ) -- 'unable to scroll
thumbnail view list with keyboard only for selecting available
templates/documents in the thumbnail views'. 

The other, which may actually be more involved,  is purely an accessibility
issue affecting the thumbnail  list items in the template manager that are
only available with mouse movements. fdo#73766 (
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=73766 ) --'thumbnail view can
not navigate with keyboard onto attribute menubar of each template thumbnail
object'.    But as an aside, would think that if you can get this working
correctly--the code to expose 'attributes' of the templates might also be
useful to expose 'attributes' of document thumbnails on StartCenter?  Just a
thought.

Stuart
