XWayland: no snooping with Shift keys

Nate Graham requested to merge ngraham/kwin:no-snooping-with-shift-keys into master

The shift key doesn't make sense to be one of the keys that will trigger KWin to allow XWayland apps to sniff all keys when it's pressed, because there aren't generally global shortcuts that consist of only Shift plus an alphanumeric character key. That's because this key combination is used to type capital letters. So we can safely exclude the shift key to improve security against key logging and not break any global shortcut-using XWayland apps for people using this feature.
