Issue #2980: Clear Color Label can be given a keyboard shortcut

Setting a colour label is photo.label with the colour as a parameter, and the
keyboard shortcuts editor binds a key to a command, not to a parameter, so
only 6-9 had keys and clearing a label could not be given one. photo.clearLabel
is the same as photo.label with none, as a command of its own. The Photo >
Set Color Label > None row runs it and shows its key.

 Setting a colour label shows the same brief bottom toast as a rating, using the colour or your
 custom label name. Clearing it shows a confirmation too, whether applied by a key, menu or swatch.

+### A keyboard shortcut for Clear Color Label
+- Clear Color Label is now a command of its own in Help ▸ Keyboard Shortcuts, so it can have a key like Set Rating or
+  Set Flag; before, only the red, yellow, green and blue labels (6–9) had keys and clearing a label was menu-only. It has
+  no key until you give it one. Photo ▸ Set Color Label ▸ None runs it and shows its key. The key clears the label of
+  the selected photos as one undo step, only the active photo in Compare and Survey, and moves on with Auto Advance,
+  as the other label keys do.
