Freestyle is a freeform usage mode that offers no special navigation assistance. (The existing support for moving the cursor using document editing shortcuts, both MacOS + Emacs, will work, as they do in the other modes.) This mode is a stepping stone for enabling additional keyboard shortcuts for moving the cursor. This includes vi shortcuts, which would normally conflict with the sequences for navigating the character-based decision trees of the grid-based and element-based nav modes.
(And add an enum to capture the user's preferred keybinding mode; vi support coming soon!)

This PR adds support for navigation using vi bindings, and introduces a new usage mode (invoked with the ⇧⌘L global keyboard shortcut). For more context, see #12.
Thanks to @shadowgate15 for contributing (and adapting) the vi bindings.
Usage details are documented in the README, but a few notes for posterity —
The vi bindings need to be explicitly enabled. To turn them on:
(No UI for this, yet.)
Be sure to restart Scoot after toggling vi bindings on, or the app won't see the changes.
Freestyle mode is an alternative usage mode. When activated, it will bring Scoot to the foreground, but not activate any of the special "character based decision tree" machinery for moving around. However, all of the other keyboard shortcuts (the ones based on text editing shortcuts) will continue to work.
