feat: keyboard shortcut to toggle sidebar

[hirehamir]

closes #2342.

[hirehamir]

I would have liked to do this in https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook/blob/master/src/theme/book.js#L443, but for some reason this keyboard shortcut wasn't working there, while the click handler worked without issue.

@Dylan-DPC I tried to do this in a cleaner way with hirehamir@a7da1d0, but document.addEventListener("keydown", function (event) { wasn't working with that commit, while clicking still toggled the sidebar without issue.

With this change

With this pull request, users would be able to collapse, and expand, the sidebar with just their keyboard.

@ehuss are there any changes you'd like me to make here?

I fixed the merge conflicts.

It's been around 414 days or so since I opened this pull request. I'm hoping we can get it across the finish line.

@y21 would you happen to know how I can get feedback from ehuss?

I think this feature could make life easier for a lot of mdBook users. I'm trying to avoid running into merge conflicts again.

Sorry, I don't know about the reviewing process in this repo here, usually (at least in clippy and the Rust repo) the standard wait time is 14 days, at which point a reviewer can be rerolled with r? team.
But it looks like this repo only has two maintainers, and it seems there's quite a few other PRs waiting on feedback, too.

This does look like a useful feature though 👍
