Xwayland: Allow users to optionally let Xwayland eavesdrop certain key codes

It's somewhat popular for voice communication applications to support Push-to-Talk. This means that the process itself expects to get all of the system input. This behaviour albeit sound does not work on Wayland systems.

This commit adds an option to let legacy X11 applications that assume they will be getting all information to do so until these apps are properly ported to the XDP GlobalShortcuts.

WIP because:

  • It needs UI to enable the option with pertinent warnings and disclaimers
  • It would be good to see what it will look like for wayland
  • The information in the GUI could be improved
