If you use ephy as an sdi app, ctrl+w will still close the window, since
you have just one tab.
It's a bit tricky but an sdi user will either:
- use ctrl+w and get the expected behavior
- look at the menu, see Close Browser and use that

Now one could open the menu, see that ephy use ctrl+shift+w for Close
Browser and blame ephy to use a different keybinding for Close.
Understanding that Close Tab close also the window requires some
thinking we should not require.

Maybe it's the less bad solution though. ctrl+w closing the window with
tabs inside is really annoying for people using tabs.
I think we should choose one of the other two solutions, I have no
particularly preference for one of the two, since they have both
problems :(

Another way is to do like mozilla and s/Close/Close Window + add a Close
Tab when there are more then one tab open. That can be confusing too,
though.
