  Keyboard shortcuts - Unity window placement shortcuts require a numpad

Bug description:
  The current key binding for window placement in Unity is`Ctl-
  Alt-[Numpad 0-9]` (see bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-
  design/+bug/878820 ). This is great with a full keyboard, but on
  notebooks and netbooks the numpad is absent, so there is no keyboard
  support for tiling.

  Ideally, additional bindings should be added for the most common
  window placements.

  -----------------------------------------------------

  Desired Solution:

  Implement the following additional keybindings for window management

  If a window is in the restored state:
  - `Super-up` = Maximize the active window
  - `Super-down` = Minimize the active window
  - `Super-left = Semi-maximise the active window to the left
  - `Super-right = Semi-maximise the active window to the right

  If a window is in the maximised or semi-maximised state:
  - `Super-up` = Maximize the active window (if currently maximised do nothing)
  - `Super-down` = Restore the active window
  - `Super-left = Semi-maximise the active window to the left (if currently semi-maximised to the left do nothing)
  - `Super-right = Semi-maximise the active window to the right (if currently semi-maximised to the right do nothing)

  Note the full set of Unity keybindings are defined in the following
