OSX: add several menuitem roles to support menu shortcuts in dialogs

Now menu items and key shortcuts for Cut, Copy, Paste and Select All
work in the standard ways in dialogs such as the file dialog, provided
that the corresponding QActions have been created and added to the menu.
This depends on new roles to identify each menu item which is so
broadly applicable that it should work even when a native widget has
focus; but the role will be auto-detected, just as we were already
doing for application menu items such as Quit, About and Preferences.
When the QFileDialog is opened, it will call
redirectKnownMenuItemsToFirstResponder() which will make only those
"special" menu items have the standard actions and nil targets.  When
the dialog is dismissed, those NSMenuItems must be reverted by calling
resetKnownMenuItemsToQt(), because to invoke a QAction, the NSMenuItem's
action should be itemFired and the target should be the
QCocoaMenuDelegate.
