This commit changes the 'Input::Event' type to be more safe and to
deliver symbolic character information along with press events.
Issue #2761Fixes#2786
This patch adds a sanity check to the Event::type accessor. If the key
code of a given PRESS or RELEASE event is out of the valid range, it
reports an INVALID event. This way, client side code does not need to
deal with such edge cases. E.g., on Lenovo notebooks, the ps2 driver
reports strange key events when pressing shift-pageup/pagedown,
violating the general assumption that there is a release event for each
press event. By flagging these events as INVALID, the client-side logic
stays intact.
Character events are created via a dedicated 'Event' constructor that
takes an 'Event:Utf8' object as argument. Internally, the character is
kept in the '_code' member. The 'Utf8' value can by retrieved by the
recipient via the new 'utf8' method.

This patch changes the top-level directory layout as a preparatory
step for improving the tools for managing 3rd-party source codes.
