Xpra: Ticket #1119: altgr workaround causes spurious ctrl key events to be sent

Related to #62, see also #923, #824, #759, #602, #425.

The workaround detects when Alt_R follows Control_L and undoes the control keypress. This causes applications to see the control key pressed briefly. We should try to detect those spurious key events and avoid sending them.

@afarr: just a FYI, please close. You are unlikely to trigger this code unless you use a keyboard layout using altgr on win32.

Noted... and I don't, so I'll just close and presume I'll remember if it ever comes up again.
