Norman Feske 455bd9396e gems/terminal: support 'CHARACTER' events
This patch adds the handling of 'CHARACTER' events as emitted by the
input-filter's character generator (<chargen>). To avoid interpreting
press/release events twice (at the input filter and by the terminal's
built-in scancode tracker), the terminal's scancode tracker can be
explicitly disabled via <config> <keyboard layout="none"/> </config>.
In the future, the terminal's built-in scancode tracker will be
removed.

The use of the terminal with the input filter is illustrated by the
'terminal_echo.run' script.

This is the example operating system based on the Genode OS framework:

:_Init_: is the first real process in the system. The provided implementation
  uses a very simple XML parser to read its configuration files.

:_Drivers_: The example OS has basic drivers for frame buffer, mouse and
  keyboard input, the PCI bus, the real-time clock, and system-specific timers.

:_Server_: The only server in the example OS is Nitpicker, a
  minimal-complexity GUI server.

:_Test_: are also part of the example OS. You may have a look at the fork
  bomb as a simple system stress test.

:_Ldso_: is the dynamic linker used for loading executables that are linked
  against shared libraries.

:_Lib_: contains libraries used by the components of the OS repository,
  for example, the alarm framework.
