logan 1ed4167634 feat(a11y): give the context menu a keyboard, and the app a voice
The context menu was the only route to Play, Add to Queue, Play Next,
Add to Playlist, Favourite and Track Details, and it opened on
right-click alone: the panel had no role=menu, so its six menuitems were
orphaned, nothing moved focus into it, and nothing handled arrows or
Escape (a11y.3). Phase 1 deferred this deliberately so it would land
with the dialogs, as one focus-management implementation.

MenuKeyboard is that model. It is standalone rather than part of
ContextMenuController because playlist-view renders a menu without the
controller, and the only thing worse than a menu with no keyboard model
is two menus with two of them. Shift+F10 and the ContextMenu key open it
from a focused row, anchored to that row, and focus returns there.

Three lists had no focused row to open it from, so they gained a roving
tab stop (utils/roving-rows.ts, written once rather than three times).
track-list keeps its own: it predates this, carries selection semantics
the other three do not have, and is pinned by its own tests.

Also the ARIA tail this is one story with: aria-sort on the column
headers (role=columnheader arrived in Phase 1 without it), listbox and
option on the four selectable grids — aria-selected on role=button is
invalid and was being dropped, so the state the whole ctrl/shift
interaction exists to produce was invisible — and live regions on the
four async surfaces that changed in silence.

Two things a reproduction taught that reading could not: the
wa-dropdown-items have not set their role when the host's updateComplete
resolves, so querying by role then finds nothing and the menu opens
without taking focus; and focus() on a popup that has not positioned
itself is a silent no-op.

/**
* The context menu has a keyboard model, and it is one model.
*
* `a11y.3`: the panel is a bare `wa-popup` holding `wa-dropdown-item`s.
* Web Awesome gives each item `role="menuitem"`, but nothing gave the
* container `role="menu"`, nothing moved focus into it, nothing handled
* Arrow/Escape, and nothing restored focus. Play, Add to Queue, Play
* Next, Add to Playlist, Favourite and Track Details — most of which
* have no other route — were mouse-only.
*
* `MenuKeyboard` is that model, standalone rather than part of
* `ContextMenuController`, because `playlist-view` renders a menu
* without the controller and two menus with two keyboard models is the
* thing this is meant to prevent.
*
* The two non-obvious parts are pinned below, both of which cost a cycle
* when they were wrong:
*
* - The items are not items yet when the host's `updateComplete`
* resolves. `wa-dropdown-item` sets its `role` in its *own* first
* update, so a `[role^="menuitem"]` query at that moment finds
* nothing and the menu opens without taking focus.
* - Focus is only taken back on close if the menu had it. A click
* elsewhere closes the menu too, and pulling focus to the row the
* user right-clicked a moment ago would be worse than leaving it.
