Replay KeyPress events instead of fake them in line-mode

Browse source 
X windows in line-mode receive KeyPress events faked with SendEvent requests
previously. This causes many problems including:

* Some applications (e.g. xterm) ignore synthetic events completely
* KeyPress and KeyRelease evnets arrive disorderly

This commit makes EXWM exploiting AllowEvents requests (in ReplayKeyboard mode)
to forward KeyPress events to X windows instead.
