+ introduced the TEnhancedKeyEvent record

+ added functions GetEnhancedKeyEvent and PollEnhancedKeyEvent and implemented
default fallbacks, which revert to calling GetKeyEvent and PollKeyEvent for
drivers that don't support the enhanced functions

+ also invoke TranslateKey to get more data (either Ascii or virtual key translation)
when converting a TKeyEvent to TExtendedKeyEvent
+ also fill UnicodeChar from AsciiChar if AsciiChar is in the standard Ascii range
(#0..#127)

* switch to using ReadConsoleInputW instead of ReadConsoleInputA in the windows
keyboard unit. This way the console input is read using Unicode and is later
translated to the OEM character set via WideCharToMultiByte. This is will
allow returning Unicode character codes once enhanced key events are
implemented.

- removed redundant setting of result in TranslateKey

+ initial implementation of a windows key event to TEnhancedKeyEvent conversion function

+ added the NilEnhancedKeyEvent const (equivalent to the value 0 of TKeyEvent)

* use x:=NilEnhancedKeyEvent instead of FillChar for setting an enhanced key
event variable to 0

+ overloaded the = operator for pairs of TEnhancedKeyEvent

+ implemented SysGetEnhancedKeyEvent and SysPollEnhancedKeyEvent for win32/win64

* use :=NilEnhancedKeyEvent instead of FillChar to clear the result of ConvertToEnhancedKeyEvent

+ implemented generic conversion from enhanced to legacy key events as well

* handle nil key events properly in ConvertToLegacyKeyEvent

+ switch the win32/win64 keyboard unit to use enhanced key events (they are
converted to legacy key events by the generic converter in keyboard.inc)

+ introduced TEnhancedShiftState. Not used yet, but will eventually be used inside TEnhancedKeyEvent.

+ added generic Shift, Ctrl and Alt values to TEnhancedShiftState

* TEnhancedKeyEvent.ShiftState changed to TEnhancedShiftState

+ detect and return the state of num lock, caps lock and scroll lock in the enhanced shift state on win32/win64

+ introduce TFPKeyEventRecord - a wrapper record around TKeyEventRecord, so it
can store additional data (not added yet) to our keyboard events; this way we
can later add extended shift state (e.g. distinguishing between left and right
shift), etc.

+ add enhanced shift state to the TFPKeyEventRecord object and call
transEnhShiftState only in HandleKeyboard, when the new key event is added to
the queue. This way we can use GetKeyState to determine the parts of the shift
state that are not in dwControlKeyState.
* transEnhShiftState moved to be a local function inside HandleKeyboard to
ensure it's not called outside this procedure.

+ introduced TEnhancedShiftStateElement - an enum type, containing the elements of TEnhancedShiftState set

+ distinguish between left and right shift and detect num/caps/lock key down using GetKeyState

- get rid of the ss:TEnhancedShiftState local variable in TranslateEnhancedKeyEvent

+ introduced unit UnixKvmBase, which is going to contain miscellaneous routines,
commonly used by the unix keyboard, video and mouse units. Currently, it only
contains the UTF8Enabled function, which was moved away from the video unit
and which will also be used by the keyboard unit in the future, as soon as
that unit also gets UTF-8 input support.

+ added a global variable Utf8KeyboardInputEnabled in the implementation of the
unix keyboard unit. Initialize it in SysInitKeyboard with the value, returned
by UnixKvmBase.UTF8Enabled (the same function that checks whether UTF-8 output
should be enabled in the video unit).

+ return enhanced key events in the unix keyboard driver; unicode not supported yet

+ handled the 'center' (numpad 5) key properly in linux, xterm and gnome

* gnome3 (clarifies gnome version tested)

* fixed Shift-F1..F8 on the Linux console

+ added shift state to the escape sequence structure

+ add shift state to TTreeElement and DoAddSequence

* modified ReadKey to return TEnhancedKeyEvent (partially constructed - contains only asciichar and virtualscancode)

* moved ReadKey after GetEnhShiftState, so it can be used to return the shift state

* return the shiftstate in ReadKey

* the variables only used by ReadKey made local, and not visible in its nested routines

* simplify an 'if A' followed by an 'if not A' sequence to 'if A then...else...'

* fixed off-by-one error when putting a character back into the input buffer

+ introduced PutBackIntoInBuf - procedure that returns a key back into InBuf

- removed the IsAlt parameter from ReadKey, because it is not used

- removed the IsAlt local variable, because it is not used

- removed some no longer used commented out code

- removed FAltKey, because it is not used

* set char to 27 for the Esc key (for the linux patched console) in the sequence table

* handle sequences that return both char and scan code

* the type of key_sequence.char changed from byte to 0..127 to enforce ASCII only use

- removed check for the kbEsc scan code, since this is now made redundant,
thanks to the fact that the sequence can return both non-zero AsciiChar
and ScanCode at the same time.

- removed commented out code

- removed commented out code

* simplified the initialization of MyScan, since ReadKey now returns a record, that contains both AsciiChar and ScanCode

* initialize SState from the shift state, returned by ReadKey

* moved the 'if not again' part after the repeat..until loop; it behaves the same, but improves code readability

+ added UTF-8 keyboard input support

* reject surrogate characters when decoding UTF-8 keyboard input

* preserve the unicode keycode returned from ReadKey in the result of SysGetEnhancedKeyEvent

+ add ConvertEnhancedToLegacyShiftState to the interface of unit keyboard

* switch to using enhanced key events in the drivers unit

+ add TEvent.UnicodeChar to the drivers unit

* fixed the linux keyboard patching table for handling F11 and F12 properly

+ also patch Ctrl+F1..Ctrl+F12 when running as root on the linux console, so they can also be read properly

* fix typo in comment

* fix typo in comment

+ added essAltGr to TEnhancedShiftState and added proper AltGr handling for the Linux console

+ added proper Windows AltGr support for the enhanced shift state

+ enable the enhanced key events permanently on windows

- removed the no-longer-used code for dealing with the legacy key events

* fix typo in comment

* CheckAltGr moved above HandleKeyboard, because it will be invoked from there also

* update the keyboard layout info before every keystroke, since Windows can
change between multiple layouts, while the program is running

* optimized UpdateKeyboardLayoutInfo, so it only calls GetKeyboardLayout once
and only performs the HasAltGr check in case the keyboard layout has actually
changed

+ added comments, explaining the enhanced shift states in detail

+ added comment about a Windows bug, which causes the keyboard layout change
detection code to not work

* refactored slightly the BEOS ifdef in unixkvmbase.utf8enabled

is enabled

* all integers replaced with smallint, in order to be able to introduce objfpc mode

* fixed bug, where left and right shift were swapped in the i8086-msdos
keyboard unit.

* fixed bug, where left and right shift were swapped in the i386-go32v2
keyboard unit as well.

+ introduced the CurrentLegacy2EnhancedKeyEventTranslationCodePage private
variable in the keyboard unit. It is used for translating AsciiChar to
UnicodeChar in non-enhanced (i.e. non-unicode) consoles. It can be initialized
in SysInitKeyboard in non-unicode consoles, so they can return unicode
characters as well.

+ support 83/84-key keyboards in the go32v2 keyboard unit
