Hotkey for switching zones view

[Felix Pflaum]

As it is difficult to route a PCB with zones filled, it would be great to be able to switch between filled-zones-mode and unfilled-zones-mode by hotkey.

I usually work with the option "Do not show filled areas" in zones but if I want to see if my routing caused problems with the filled polygon I always have to switch modes by clicking and then switch back.

I am aware of the hotkeys "Ctrl+B" and "B" but "Ctrl+B" does not just remove the filling but also causes airwires between all the pins connected to the polygon, which is quite confusing and disturbing.

My suggestion would be:
- Introduce a new hotkey (maybe Alt+B) to switch to "Do not show filled areas in zones"
- Make the "B" hotkey not only (re)fill areas but switch to "Show filled areas in zones"-view, too.

The three toolbar zone display modes are available in the hotkeys list as a result of the new hotkeys architecture.

I've also added a toggle which cycles through the three modes.

None have default hotkey assignments, but a user is free to assign them as they wish.

Thanks to your work I can now assign hotkeys for "Fill zones" (Alt+B) and "Wireframe zones" (Alt+V) and the hotkeys also are shown properly in the menu on the latest Windows nightly.

However, switching via hotkey does not have any effect, the drawing mode can only be switched via clicking in the menu or via the buttons on the left. The first time I try one of the two hotkeys the windows seems to refresh but does not change the drawing mode, subsequent hotkey presses do not have any visible effect at all.
