PATCH 1/1 gitk: Add shortcut Ctrl-W for closing the active window

To make the user experience between git gui and gitk more homogeneous, use Ctrl-W in gitk too for closing the active window. When closing the main window doquit is called for proper cleanup.

Found myself hitting Ctrl-W in gitk with no effect once too often ;-)

This is sort of like when Mozilla claims Ctrl-U to show the page source, and you're expecting it to clear the line.

At least in Mozilla, you can configure the browser to respect the old meanings for Ctrl-U, etc.
