Stephen Thompson e96b275e02 Remove suggested key for sort_tabs 
A number of users have accidentally pressed Ctrl + Comma and sorted their tabs by container. For some of those users, they did not know what had happened.

#2492 added Ctrl + Comma as a default shortcut key for sorting tabs by container. This change was released with addon v8.2.0 in Sept 2024.

It is useful to make the sort-tabs-by-container operation accessible by keyboard shortcut, but I think Ctrl + Comma is too close to the main Ctrl + Period shortcut for this addon. I think it's reasonable to make the default sort_tabs keyboard shortcut more complex, but in this patch, I'm recommending that we:

1. do not set a shortcut by default for any future users. Users can still configure a shortcut via Firefox's Manage Extension Shortcuts UI.
2. for existing users upgrading from 8.2.0 who configured their own, non-default keyboard shortcut for sort_tabs, keep their shortcut in place. These users demonstrated a strong interest in using the sort_tabs feature and I do not want to interfere.
3. for existing users upgrading from 8.2.0 who have the default keyboard shortcut configured, clear the shortcut. Users who did not use the sort_tabs keyboard shortcut will no longer be at risk of accidentally using it. Users who did use the default sort_tabs keyboard shortcut will be harmed, but those users can use the Manage Extension Shortcuts UI to manually configure Ctrl + Comma (or another key combination).

I am not aware of any simple ways to ensure that existing users using Ctrl + Comma can continue to do so without interruption. Ideally, I think #2492 should not have set a suggested key -- the other keyboard shortcuts are "non-destructive" and easy to understand. However, since that already happened, I think the best harm reduction approach at this point is to inconvenience existing users of Ctrl + Comma.
