[Win][MiniBrowser] Accelerator keys don't work unless the main window is focused

MiniBrowser has accelerator keys, Ctrl-W to close window, Ctrl-R to reload.

In Firefox and Chrome, Ctrl-R can be prevented, but Ctrl-W can't.
Reloading by Ctrl-R should be implemented in WebKitBrowserWindow::didNotHandleKeyEvent.
You can test it by using https://javascript.info/keyboard-events

I think TranslateAccelerator should be used only for the message for main window.

I realized two problems in this WIP patch.

1. Ctrl-W can't close the window while loading a page

Ctrl-W should be processed without dispatching to WebKit.

2. accelerator keys don't work if toolbar buttons or URL bar are focused.

toolbar buttons should give up WM_SETFOCUS.

3. By pressing Alt-Tab to switch active windows, the main window gets focused.

This is the only way to focus the main window at the moment, but this seems a bug.

For example, Windows File Explore restores the previous focus when re-activating.
Restoring the previous focus seems a application's task by using WM_ACTIVATE.

4. Ctrl++ (zoom in) and Ctrl+- (zoom out) is effective only for numpad

To solve the issue #1, it seems that I should add WM_COMMAND bubble up code in WebView.

>    case WM_COMMAND:
>        PostMessage(GetParent(hWnd), message, wParam, lParam);

WIP patch

* Split the accelerator table into pre and post.
* WebKit2 WebView bubbles up WM_COMMAND message to the parent
* SetFocus the brower window when WM_ACTIVATE of the main window

issue#2 and issue#4 still remain
Ctrl+R doesn't work for WebKit1 because it doesn't have didNotHandleKeyEvent
Ctrl+W doesn't work for WebKit1 because I din'd add the code bubbling up WM_COMMAND. Shold I add it to WebKit1?
