Change high-contrast keyboard shortcut.

Project Member Reported by abodenha@chromium.org, Jun 29 2017

Issue description

We're still working out the best way to deal with accidental triggerings of "high consequence" keyboard shortcuts. In the meantime shifting the high-contrast key to something harder to accidentally hit is non-controversial and likely to reduce the pain by a lot.

Plan:
1: search+shift+h should stop working and display a notification that the shortcut has changed.
2: ctrl+search+h should be the new combo
3: Keyboard overlay should update with the change.

A VERY big Thank You on behalf of the users and the CBC RS/TC team!
Drive-by observation: Ctrl+Search+H is easier to accidentally hit on external keyboards than Shift+Search+H.

Is this the first keyboard shortcut to utilize Ctrl+Search? (Not counting users with function keys, where Search is used to override a function key.)

Change Toggle High Contrast accelerator

Due to accidental triggering of High Contrast accelerator, we are
implemnting the following plan:

1: search+shift+h should stop working and display a notification
   that the shortcut has changed.
2: ctrl+search+h should be the new combo
3: Keyboard overlay should update with the change.

Re #2 yes this is the first combo to use ctrl+search.

Yes, ctrl and search are next to each other on external keyboards but ctrl is much less used than shift. Most users will type "H" frequently, but relatively few will hit ctrl+H to open history and if they do they're more likely to catch a finger slip that triggers a visual change.
