RFR: 8155030: The Menu Mnemonics are always displayed for GTK LAF

In GTK LAF, the menu mnemonics are always displayed which is different from the native behavior. In native application **(tested with gedit**), the menu mnemonics toggle on press of `ALT` key. Menu mnemonics are hidden initially and then toggles between show/hide on `ALT` press. 
Proposed fix is to handle the `ALT` key press for GTK LAF and mimic the native behavior. Fix is similar to the `ALT` key processing in  Windows LAF. Automated test case is added to verify the fix and tested in Ubuntu and Oracle linux.

CI testing was green and link attached in JBS.
