FORTH: KEY-EVENT unified keyboard interface, closes 4.3.5-4.3.5f (item 4.3.5f)

Browse Source

Punch list §25 item 4.3.5f complete. Keyboard-input slice done.

New KEY-EVENT ( -- keycode pressed -1 | 0 ) converges amd64's i8042,
riscv64's and aarch64's virtio-keyboard-pci behind one shape. Translation
needed is minimal: XT Set-1 make codes and Linux input keycodes are
numerically identical across the standard 84-key block (a documented
historical property of the Linux input subsystem, confirmed against this
host's own headers and this tree's own prior live observations), so amd64
needs two lines, riscv64/aarch64 need none. Verified live with a real
keypress on all three architectures: identical "-1 1 30" output everywhere.
Three-arch acceptance boot clean.
