Bug Description

Once you used Tab to arrive at the bottom most component, Shift-Tab should be required to go back.

This might need some lower level support, as by default, QtQuick wraps.

UX solution:
It's ok for keyboard navigation to wrap with the tab key but there should be a hard stop with arrow keys.

This is crazy as other toolkits do wrap. Let's not introduce something completely different than the other toolkits have.

GTK also wraps around, Cocoa, Windows FWs do wrap around. The feature is embedded in upstream code and it is hard if impossible to stop it.

Comment for the UX Solution: The arrow key navigation is only done per component level. If the application must do that itself, it is the responsibility of the application to handle that. And there, a wrap-around must be implemented explicitly, there's no automatic behaviour available for that.
