Ideally, we want to pass shortcut keys to the component to handle, and
only fall back to invoking a menu item if the component was unable to
handle the keyboard event, or if the action was triggered by
clicking/selecting an item in the menu itself. The old implementation
tried to work out whether the action was triggered by a shortcut by
checking the event's characters and modifiers. This method was
inaccurate, because some shortcuts (such as arrow keys) may add
unexpected numpad/function modifier flags.

We now try handling shortcut keys directly in the peer, and pass events
up to the superclass (which will forward them to the main menu) if the
event could not be handled.

This commit also adjusts some Objective-C method signatures to use the
correct string encoding for the BOOL type.

Arranges declarations of objects with static storage duration to ensure
correct lifetimes.

This reverts commit 99afd933e0.
