Added accessibility for screen readers using UIA.

The overlay is a non-selectable blob called "window list", and all the thumbnails are its children and presented as "button" controls, which are invokable. Buttons are read as focus moves over them (refer to your screen reader's normal behaviour for a window filled with buttons). The text which is read is the same text that is painted on the screen for each thumbnail.

The recommendation is to use the builtin keyboard bindings, e.g. TAB and ENTER instead of screen reader specific navigation commands. The reason is the former is very well tested, seeing as how AltTabber was designed primarily for keyboard use; screen-reader specific focus navigation commands are not as tested...

Press ALT + key above tab to open the overlay. See README.md for more information.

Note: the README.md file was accidently mangled in the 1.9 tag; the subsequent commit fixed it; I have added the correct README here
