runtime(menu): define shortcut for File->Open Tab (https://github.com/vim/vim/issues/12895)
Seems missing as noted by Antonio Giovanni Colombo. So add it and use
the 'T' as shortcut, which does not seem to be used in the File dialog.
Verified on Windows.

| 39 this program by running "gvim -unregister" in a console window. | |
| 40 | |
| 41 3. Delete the executables. If you copied the executables to another location, | |

| 43 remember where they are, look in the directories from the $PATH environment | |

| 50 normally located in a directory like "C:\vim". If the $VIM environment | |
| 51 variable is set, it will tell the name of the directory. Normally you can | |
| 52 delete everything in this directory. Warning: You might have put some | |
| 53 files there that you would like to save. If you did remove it all, you can | |
| 54 skip the next step. | |

| 61 these first. But normally you would not have changed or added files here. | |

| 63 6. Remove setting the $VIM and $VIMRUNTIME environment variable and adjust | |
| 64 $PATH. $VIM only needs to be removed if you are not going to install | |
| 65 another version of Vim. $VIMRUNTIME is mostly not set. Check if $PATH | |
| 66 contains the path of the vim directory. Note that $PATH may be set in | |
