Introduce new focus APIs, and use for CB (#7167)
Introduce new APIs for managing focus and using focus to inform delivery of keyboard events.

Use new APIs to implement the following behavior:

Focus:
- If the component browser is opened, its initial state is *focused*.
- If the node input area's text component is clicked, the component browser's state becomes *blurred*.
- If a click occurs anywhere in the component browser, the component browser's state becomes *focused*.

Event dispatch:
- When the component browser is in the *focused* state, it handles certain keyboard events (chiefly, arrow keys).
- If the component browser handles an event, the event is not received by other components.
- If an event occurs that the component browser doesn't handle, the node input area's text component receives the event.

# Important Notes
Changes to display object interface:
- **`display::Object` can now be derived.**
- Introduce display object *focus receiver* concept. Many components, when receiving focus, should actually be focused indirectly by focusing a descendant.
- For example, when the CB Panel receives focus, its descendant at `self.model().grid.model().grid` should be focused, because that's the underlying Grid View, which has its own event handlers. By allowing each level of the hierarchy to define a `focus_receiver`, focus can reach the right object without the CB panel having to know structural details of its descendants.
- When delegating to a field's `display::Object` implementation, the derived implementation uses the child's `focus_receiver`, which will normally be the correct behavior.

**Changes to `shortcut` API**:
- New `View::focused_shortcuts()` is a focus-aware alternative to `View::default_shortcuts()` (which should now only be used for global shortcuts, i.e. shortcuts that don't depend on whether the component is focused). It's based on the *Keyboard Event* API (see below), so events propagate up the focus hierarchy until a shortcut is executed and `stop_propagation()` is called; this allows sensible resolution of event targets when more than one component is capable of handling the same keypress.

Keypress dataflow overview:
DOM -> KeyboardManager -> FrpKeyboard -> KeyboardEvents -> Shortcut.

Low-level keyboard changes to support Focus:
- New `KeyboardManager`: Attaches DOM event handlers the same way as `MouseManager`.
- New *Keyboard Event* API: `on_event::<KeyDown>()`. Events propagate up the focus hierarchy. This API is used for low-level keyboard listeners such a `Text`, which may need complex logic to determine whether a key is handled (rather than having a closed set of bindings, which can be handled by `shortcut`).
- FRP keyboard: Now attaches to the `KeyboardManager` API. It now serves primarily to produce Keyboard Events (it still performs the role of making `KeyUp` events saner in a couple different ways). The FRP keyboard can also be used directly as a global keyboard, for such things as reacting to modifier state.

Misc:
- Updated the workspace `syn` to version 2. Crates still depending on legacy `syn` now do so through the workspace-level `syn_1` alias.
