[Cin] Varied Standard Shortcuts AppImage version for testing

[Phyllis Smith]

Checked into GIT to reside at cinelerra-5.1/alt_shortcuts.patch, so that
users doing their own build if they want to use the alternative shortcuts,
they can patch the source for the 27 cinelerra/1guicast affected files. As
part of each new release, I will create an additional AppImage with these
shortcuts in for users not doing their own builds.

  cd cinelerra-5.1
  patch -p1 -i alt_shortcuts.patch
  ./bld.sh

Andrea, I did not update the manual and thanks for actual user testing by
IgorB and Andrea because for me, it was hard to test. Especially trying to
Quit which was a lot easier to use just "q" instead of "Ctrl-Q".
