[Freeciv-Dev] (PR#11582) Suggestion: make shortcut keys homogene

["Christian Knoke" <chrisk@xxxxxxxxx>]

CVS S2_0 and HEAD, all clients

We have about 20 keys for unit orders, 12 for unit movement/display, 9 for
the map, and 14 that open a dialog or report.

The first 2 groups work with letter and digit keys, shifted and unshifted.
4 Ctrl-keys affect the map display or open a dialog.

But 3 shifted letter keys also open a dialog. These are exeptions from group
1. It was nice if all shifted and unshifted keys are restricted to unit
commands.

These are:

Shift-T: open Tax/Lux/Sci Rates dialog
Shift-F: open Find City dialog
 Ctrl-L: open Worklists dialog
Shift-R: open Revolution dialog

We could change the modifier from shift to ctrl here; then all dialogs are
opened by F-keys or Ctrl-keys:

Ctrl-T: open Tax/Lux/Sci Rates dialog         
Ctrl-F: open Find City dialog         
Ctrl-L: open Worklists dialog   
Ctrl-R: open Revolution dialog      


Somewhat related is a move of the center command menue item from the View
menue to the Orders menue, at the bottom.
