Add ESC key listener to close client overlay component #5498

Description

@tedbrakob

Feature Proposal

Add the ability to close the overlay created by client-src/overlay.js with the ESC key rather than click the "X" in the corner.

Feature Use Case

The webpack-dev-server-client-overlay for errors is often ignorable in development, and having a quick way to dismiss it would be nice.

Please paste the results of npx webpack-cli info here, and mention other relevant information
