layer dock shortcut

There's a shortcut under the Tools menu to open the toolbox; after quite some time helping people on the GIMP IRC channels, I think it would also be helpful to have a shortcut on the Layers menu to show the layers dock.

Once people discover how the Layers dialogue box works, their understanding of GIMP progresses very fast. People don't tend to look for it under windows->dockable thingies because they don't know it's a dockable thingie. Or, as Alan Cooper would say, we have to help the Perpetual intermediates become Experts :)

The standard hotkey for reaching the layers dock is CTRL+L. The standard hotkey for reaching the toolbox dock is CTRL+B. Since gimp 2.4(?) you can also show hide all docks using the TAB key
