Changes

• Make the Esc key in the terminal fire only when it is physically released.
  By default, we use the Esc key as a modifier. Its press+release events will only be sent after the key is physically released, and only if no other keys were pressed along with Esc. This behavior is configurable, see the <config/events/terminal/> configuration subsection.

• Introduce vtm.terminal.KeyEvent({...}, ..., {...}) function.

  attribute	type	description
  keystat	Integer	Key state: 0 - released; 1 - pressed; 2 - repeated.
  ctlstat	Integer	Keyboard modifiers (bit-field).
  virtcod	Integer	Key virtual code.
  scancod	Integer	Key scan code.
  keycode	Integer	Vtm specific key code.
  extflag	Integer	Extended flag (win32 specific).
  cluster	String	Text string generated by the key.

  Example:

  -- Send pressed Esc key event
  vtm.terminal.KeyEvent({ keystat=1, virtcod=0x1b, scancod=1, cluster='\\u{1b}' })
  -- Send released Esc key event
  vtm.terminal.KeyEvent({ keystat=0, virtcod=0x1b, scancod=1 })
