Add KeyBindingsCycle option to control F12 behavior. Default is off.
Fixes #613.
M src/wp/ap/xp/ap_EditMethods.cpp
M src/wp/ap/xp/ap_Prefs_SchemeIds.h
Thanks to Kevin for reminding me how easy a patch this was.

One of the things I love about making sweeping generalizations is that I'm
"always" immediately proven wrong. ;-) Oh well. If nothing else, it's a
great way to either:
- test consensus, or
- generate a concrete use case.
Thanks for the use case.

OK, I'm sold. Done. See above.

PS: Bob, remind me that we'll need to fix the FAQ for this when we release
the next set of binaries.
