Yet another of the myriad bugs introduced by PR#14365. I'm so sick and
tired of cleaning up this battlegroup mess!
These keys are undocumented intercepts (just as ESC) that appear only in the
gui-gtk2 client. They are not in any menu. Apparently, their only real
purpose is to crash. Only warclient folks would even notice them (probably
by furiously trying every key).

Looking at the proposed patches, they are inconsistent. None performs a
semantically useful function. They fix the symptom without addressing the
underlying problem.
Reading the code to try to divine the original intent, it makes no sense to
have a special purpose key to filter land or sea units from an existing
selected group. The only time that could possibly be used would be in a
port, and only when both ships and land units are present.
This especially make no sense with battlegroups that can be on more than one
tile. More than one port? Battlegroups with both land and sea units?
(Before PR#14365, it would try to find a land or sea unit that wasn't
currently selected. That's duplicated by <control> LMB/RMB already in
mapview for both gtk2 and xaw. But not documented!)
It's a waste of time to maintain such undocumented and infrequently useful
keys.... I'm deleting the code.
