Group shortcuts by where they apply (Global, Workspace, Toolbox, Blocks, Move Mode) and add newer Blockly shortcuts: block stack navigation, toolbox headings, move-stack, block info, and screen reader mode. Gate the download and simulator rows on target capability, adding pxt.canDownload() (shared with the editor toolbar's compile button).

It's going to be a while before we get internal feedback so thinking it's better to move ahead with this and then tweak as needed. |

Gate the download and simulator rows on target capability, adding pxt.canDownload() (shared with the editor toolbar's compile button). Please review this bit carefully, I don't have full context for other targets.
Draft for now as I want feedback from Foundation folks more involved in the user testing and keyboard controls resources (which has some similar presentations of keyboard shortcuts). Thoughts welcome.Demo: https://scoped-keyboard-controls.review-pxt.pages.dev/#editor
Closes microsoft/pxt-microbit#6890 (or at least helps, it's quite subjective!)
