Subject: [PATCH] fix(checkbox): don't hide focus indicator on space press.

No longer hides the focus indicator ripple on click/space. Right now if a keyboard user tabs to the checkbox and presses SPACE to toggle the checkbox, the focus indicator ripple disappears. This makes it hard to see what element is focused or not.

For comparison, native checkboxes also keep the focus effect on keyboard press. Also Polymer follows the same convention with the focus indicator.
