Installs an accelerator for accel_widget in accel_group, that causes the ::activate signal to be emitted if the accelerator is activated.

This function can be used to make widgets participate in the accel saving/restoring functionality provided by gtk_accel_map_save() and gtk_accel_map_load(), even if they haven't been created by an item factory.

accel_widget : widget to install an accelerator on
full_path : the full path for the accel_widget
