[list-box] Focus follows mouse #966

Description

@jouni

When used inside a context-menu or dropdown-menu, it would be great to allow the user to move the focus with the mouse in addition to arrow keys. This is the common, expected behavior in traditional desktop menus.

It doesn’t make sense from the end user’s perspective to separate these states (mouse focus/hover and keyboard focus), as they are going to activate a single item in the list in the end.

Right now, I have to provide two separate visual cues for the focus in Valo (mouse pointer and background color), when only one should be enough.

There’s a corresponding issue for vaadin-combo-box and vaadin-date-picker.
