* Fix: Disable TextField hotkey functionality to prevent input interception

TextField's Title is used as a caption/placeholder, not for hotkey
navigation. Hotkey visual formatting (underline) is still rendered
in the caption, but hotkey functionality is disabled to prevent
keys like 'E' and 'F' from being intercepted when typing in the field.

Updated test to expect "_Find" instead of "Find" to match resource change.

* Fix: Support Alt+key hotkey navigation while allowing normal typing

Override AddKeyBindingsForHotKey to only bind Alt+key combinations
(e.g., Alt+F for "_Find"), not the bare keys. This allows:
- Alt+F to navigate to the TextField with Title="_Find"
- Normal typing of 'F', 'E', etc. without interception

Previously, both bare key and Alt+key were bound, causing typing
issues. Now TextField properly supports hotkey navigation without
interfering with text input.

* Changes before error encountered

* Refactor hotkey handling to support command context

Refactored `RaiseHandlingHotKey` to accept an `ICommandContext? ctx` parameter, enabling context-aware hotkey handling. Updated `Command.HotKey` definitions across multiple classes (`View`, `CheckBox`, `Label`, `MenuBarv2`, `RadioGroup`, `TextField`) to utilize the new context parameter.

Enhanced XML documentation for `RaiseHandlingHotKey` to clarify its usage and return values. Added a context-aware hotkey handler to `TextField` with additional logic for focus handling.

Refactored attribute initialization and improved code readability in `TextField` by aligning parameters and removing unused `HotKeySpecifier` initialization. These changes improve flexibility, maintainability, and consistency across the codebase.

* Remove TextField.Caption property; use Title with hotkey navigation support

Terminal.Gui Tests

This folder contains the tests for Terminal.Gui.

./UnitTests

This folder contains the unit tests for Terminal.Gui that can not be run in parallel. This is because they depend on Application or other class that use static state or ConfigurationManager.

We should be striving to move as many tests as possible to the ./UnitTestsParallelizable folder.

./UnitTestsParallelizable

This folder contains the unit tests for Terminal.Gui that can be run in parallel.

./IntegrationTests

This folder contains the integration tests for Terminal.Gui.

./StressTests

This folder contains the stress tests for Terminal.Gui.

./PerformanceTests

This folder WILL contain the performance tests for Terminal.Gui.

See the Testing wiki for details on how to add more tests.
