Several keyboard shortcuts had to be modified for the tabbed patch
addition, otherwise keyboard navigation of the game UI was basically
impossible.

These keyboard shortcuts should have never been selected in the first
place, we still have some remaining clashes with the default GTK+
keybindings for keyboard navigation, but since those have alternatives,
I guess it is ok.

GTK+ uses the following keyboard shortcuts by default:
Up/Down: Used for navigating lists, widgets and menus.
Left/Right: Used for navigating widgets and menus.
Page Up/Down, Home, End, used in text input widgets as well as lists
and menus.
Space/Enter: activate a widget.

Since Enter is only used once per turn while space is possibly used
several times per turn, Enter got the chop into Shift-Enter.

I forgot to update the docs and several people understandably got
confused. So here is a patch to modify the docs.
