Accessibility improvements

This add-on adds the following keystrokes: Control+arrows in message view to provide table-like navigation. NVDA+DownArrow in message view to read the last message in current thread. N and P to go to next or previous unread email in conversation view. NVDA+X in thread view to expand all messages in current thread.

Also this add-on adds following features: Conversation view is recognized as a table with table navigation commands working. Much less verbose announcement of conversations in conversations window.

Other notes

• eM Client automatically combines emails into threads. Unlike Outlook and Thunderbird, you cannot see individual emails in the default configuration, and the basic unit appears to be thread, rather than email.
• In thread view eM Client presents individual messages as frames, and therefore the most convenient way to jump between messages is M and Shift+M keystrokes.
• In the main window press F6 and Shift+F6 to jump between folders tree view and conversations table.
