Allow blocks to be added in the page editor using the keyboard (Bug
#1262933)

Adds a dialog for adding and moving blocks, activated when the user pressed Space/Enter
with a blocktype focused, or activates the new "Move block" button. The user can select
which cell (row/column) to put the block in and where in the cell to place the new
block.
The "Move block" button is hidden unless it gains keyboard focus meaning the interface isn't
any more cluttered for mouse users.

Title:
  Drag-and-drop page editor is not keyboard-accessible

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Currently the drag and drop page editor cannot be used with the keyboard. This is a major accessibility problem for people who rely on the keyboard and are unable to use a mouse easily.
  There are two options for making this accessible: Implement keyboard drag-and-drop using ARIA and Javascript or display the non-js editor for screen reader users (and make that accessible)

  It seems that ARIA drag-and-drop attributes are not well supported
  among most screen readers but a mostly-JS approach (like in
  http://dev.opera.com/articles/view/accessible-drag-and-drop/) can work
  well.
