STS should silence when pressing esc key

Project Member Reported by leberly@chromium.org, Apr 7 2018 
Google Chrome 67.0.3383.0 (Official Build) dev (64-bit)
Google_Samus.6300.276.0
Chrome OS with flag enabled: #enable-experimental-accessibility-features

# Enable STS
# Invoke speech using any method
# Press esc
Expected: STS stops
Actual: nothing happens

Right now, I know search and ctrl both silence STS but I found myself unconsciously reaching for the esc key over and over again trying to silence STS. People not familiar with ctrl to silence a screen reader might not think of it and esc seems more logical than search in my opinion. I'd like all 3 to silence.

Maybe Laura A can say whether we'd want to add a third way to silence speech.

Upon discussion, we need to allow the esc key to function as an esc key so as to not interfere with the use of the key in other places. I am resolving this as WontFix since there are two other buttons that work to silence this.
