I kinda feel like instead of beeping, maybe we should just disable the keyboard shortcut when not paused.  Our documentation even says "When paused" <https://webkit.org/web-inspector/keyboard-shortcuts/#sources-tab> so I don't think it's that crazy of an idea.  I'd probably look for where `WI.DebuggerManager.Event.Paused` and `WI.DebuggerManager.Event.Resumed` are dispatched and add `WI.stepOverKeyboardShortcut.disabled = !this.paused;` for each keyboard shortcut (and their alternates).

NIT: if you do wanna keep this, I'd make this into an early return

NIT: Can we `let paused = WI.debuggerManager.paused;` to avoid the repeated logic?  Alternatively, you could make `WI._updateDebuggerKeyboardShortcuts` take a parameter `paused` and hardcode the value at each callsite (e.g. we know that the debugger is not paused inside `WI._debuggerDidResume` so there's kinda no reason to re-check `WI.debuggerManager.paused`, tho it would be a nice `console.assert` just to be sure).

I dont think this should ever be disabled since it works both when and not paused.
