keysc: simpler keyboard device with more consistent repeats
* Stop trying to be smart and generate repeats on the fly; this breaks
  time consistency. Also if repeats are not handled in time this causes
  infinite loops.
* Move rarely-used functions to external files, simplify stuff, get rid
  of internal driver events; saves ~1 kB per add-in overall.

getkey: use the new keydev interface
The repeat filter was also changed in favor of a forward-acting
function, which determines repeat delays *before* the repeat actually
occurs.

keydev: add a keyboard device layer to abstract away globals
The new keyboard device (keydev) interface implements the kernel's view
of a keyboard providing input events. Its main role is to abstract all
the globals of the KEYSC driver and getkey functions into a separate
object: the "keyboard device".

The device implements event transformations such as modifiers and
repeats, instead of leaving them to getkey. While this can seem
surprising at first, a real keyboard controller is responsible for
repeats and modifier actions depend on the state of the keyboard which
is only tracked in real-time.

In this commit, getkey() has not changed yet apart from indirectly using
the keydev interface with pollevent(). It will be changed soon to use
event transforms in keydev_read(), and will be left in charge of
providing repeat profiles, handling return-to-menu, backlight changes
and timeouts, all of which are user convenience features.
