Add accesibility mode only keybindings to navigate up and down rows in the terminal

[Tyriar]

For example when in accessibility mode, ctrl+up/down could navigate (focus) through rows in the terminal.

Required for this: xtermjs/xterm.js#2294

To verify test with JAWS 2019 under Windows. ctrl+up/ctrl+down enters line navigation mode and escape exits. JAWS is going to add special rules for this, it may not be done yet but you can create the following file to fix the keybindings.

C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Freedom Scientific\JAWS\2019\Settings\enu\defaults.jkm:

[Common Keys]
Ctrl+UpArrow=
Ctrl+DownArrow=

Note that accessibility must be enabled to test this, you can also define your own keybindings for the commands

workbench.action.terminal.navigationModeExit
workbench.action.terminal.navigationModeFocusNext
workbench.action.terminal.navigationModeFocusPrevious

I had to change the keybinding to Ctrl+Shift+Up/Down. It didn't work reliably with JAWS but it worked fine when JAWS was not running and the workbench was in accessibility mode.

When starting JAWS, focussing the terminal, and entering navigation mode, things were as expected. However pressing ESC put JAWS into a navigation mode, I don't know how to get out off and in that mode the keybindings don't work.
