NVDA doesn't report the accelerator key for UIA controls

[mohammad-suliman]

with visual studio 2015, the shortcuts is not reported for the menu items, only mnemonics are reported.
the reason for that is as follows:
NVDA gets only the access key in _get_keyBoardShortcut of UIA object.
to fix the issue: NVDA should also get the accelerator key. see this link for reference:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ee684017%28v=vs.85%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
I implemented the required change in under development VS add-on, and it works fine.
thanks.

the code is as follows:
def _get_keyboardShortcut(self):
ret = ""
try:
ret += self.UIAElement.currentAccessKey
except COMError:
pass
if ret != "":
#add a double space to the end of the string
ret +=" "
try:
ret += self.UIAElement.currentAcceleratorKey
except COMError:
pass
return ret

I am not sure this is a correct design when it comes to speech

This, or another issue, has caused a problem in Windows 10 10586.

1. Press Windows+U.
2. Tab around.
3. The accelerator key for each option is announced twice.
   This appears in the battery warning as well.
