[4/8] vnc: fix numlock+capslock tracking

This patch makes the numlock+capslock tracking logic only look at
keydown events.  Without this patch the vnc server will insert
bogous capslock keypress in case it sees the following key sequence:

  shift down --- 'A' down --- shift up  --- 'A' up
                                         ^ here

It doesn't hurt with a PS/2 keyboard, but it disturbs the USB Keyboard.
And with the key event queue just added to the usb keyboard the guest
will actually notice.

This should be 1/8 or 2/8 in the series.

Also, perhaps these four could go in 0.14?  The USB device are really 
much more usable (especially the keyboard) with them.

IMHO the whole series should go to 0.14, otherwise the remote wakeup 
support added recently will simply not play together with migration.

cheers,

Yeah, and for something as core as "add migration" support, I'm inclined 
to agree.  I'm amazed this hasn't been a bigger problem to date.
