D8021: Don't switch Location Bar mode with Escape key

[Henrik Fehlauer]

  -1 from me. It's a feature, not a bug. `Esc` is the standard way to return to previous GUI states, you use this subconsciously without needing to actively think about some other way (at least I do). In addition, Windows Explorer also does it the same way.

  That's no correct for [Ctrl] + [L] you cite: This enters edit mode, but does not close it again. Only [F6] works for this. Also, this should be a standard feature and not something each application needs to add (differently).

  However there's one thing I'd love to be changed: Currently clicking on a folder to navigate away will close edit mode, but not clicking somewhere else outside of the location bar. This could be added and the checkmark button adding clutter removed (that's how Windows Explorer does it too, and it's logical: click inside the breadcrumb bar to open edit mode, click outside to close it again).
  
  The tricky thing here is how this will interact with situations where the edit mode should always be active (I believe there a config option for that? What about file dialogs?)
