b-pagination menu keyboard navigation Jaws Support

[ghost]

When using Jaws Screen reader, the menu keyboard navigation is announced as "to move through items press the UP or DOWN arrow" but the supported keys for such navigation in the component are LEFT and RIGHT instead.
The b-pagination component should support UP and DOWN arrow keys.

This might be an issue with JAWS, as the list should be interpreted as aria-orientation="horizontal", but maybe we need to explicitly add the aria-orientation attribute.

Although after a bit of digging, it looks like JAWS may not support/respect the aria-orientation attribute, and assumes that because the root element is a <ul> (a list) it is vertical in orientation even though pagination has role="menubar" which implies horizontal orientation (whereas role="menu" implies vertical orientation)

So we may have to add in both left/right and up/down navigation support

What a quick turnaround. Thank you so much!
