Build 1206. Linux 7.1

Many of the fields in the New CVS location dialog are not accessible with the 
keyboard and require use of the mouse namely

Password
Port
CVS location
Finish

STEPS
1) Open the Repositories View
2) Select New -> CVS Repository Location
3) Try to tab through the fields - many are skipped

We are ok except for "Validate" which can't be tabbed to.

Note: Accessibility is hard requirement for 2.0

All of the fields are accessible, but the tab ordering is a little
messy.  This is further confused by the fact that Validate is being
grouped with the radio buttons.

At the very least, Validate should be in its own tab group though it
would be nice if the radio buttons were traversed in the right
sequence.  The former task is easy, the latter cannot be done easily
without affecting the layout of the page since a new Composite must
be created to contain the radio buttons, but the grid layout is
defined on the parent so the Port text box cannot be layed out properly
w.r.t the radio buttons and the other text boxes.

Fixed main source of confusion by giving the Validate checkbox its
own tab group.  The radio buttons have been left alone due to
SWT layout complications.
