Summary

As requested by minohaka, it would be handy to open the diplomacy page using a hotkey.

Test Plan

Possibly find a better key combination. Possibly argue about the hotkey assignment being better placed in button_diplomacy.xml.

20:44 < minohaka> Is there a shortcut for opening the diplomacy modal/window?

There are 4 buttons:
objectives, diplomacy, trade & barter, gamespeed.

3 of them open dialogs, so I add it for objectives as well.

The gamespeed button however doesn't open a dialog, it only unhides a dropdown.

But if there should be hotkeys to interact with the gamespeed, it seems preferable if there is a hotkey to increase gamespeed and a hotkey to decrease it.

Until then such a gamespeed dropdown visibility trigger hotkey seems like incomplete work to me, i.e. work for an independent diff.

Also tooltips should display the hotkeys.

And https://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/HotKeys will be updated.

Also we can avoid misc.xml and insert the hotkey in place.
