windowManager: Add shortcut for toggling quick settings

Ever since the various status menus were combined into a single
aggregate menu, the menu has been an important entry point. Alas,
we never got around to adding a shortcut for it, not least because
there never was a good candidate.

We just freed super+s which works as either "system" or
"(quick) settings", so use that.
