autotests: fix flaky keyboard list navigation test

test_press pressed Down and expected the list to move to the next item, but the
list only navigates when it has active keyboard focus. The test relied on focus
reaching the list on its own after the window was shown, which does not always
happen in time (seen failing on Windows and on Linux with Qt 6.12), so the key
went nowhere and currentIndexChanged never fired.

Give the list active focus before pressing the key.
