Improvements to extra keys (#1479)
* Make popup keys for extra keys row configurable

This makes the keys you get when swiping up on a key configurable. You
can configure such a key by using an array of strings instead of a
single string in the row. The first entry will be the normal key and the
second will be the extra key.

This is a slightly breaking change, as people that have configured
custom extra keys with "-" or "/" will have to change the config to keep
the popup keys. The default config will remain the same in terms of
functionality, i.e. it includes the same popup key for "-".

* Make popup keys interact well with long press keys

This stops the repeat action when the popup is shown, and makes sure the
popup is closed when you release even if there has been some repeat
actions.

* Support configuring the style of the extra keys

This adds a setting for choosing between the different ways to render
key names that were already present in ExtraKeysView.

The available setting values are "arrows-only", "arrows-all", "all",
"none" and "default". Other values will fallback to "default".

Can be used as a workaround for #1410

* Support using modifier keys with letter keys in extra keys

This allows you to use the modifier keys on the extra keys rows, e.g.
ctrl, together with another button on the extra keys rows, as long as
that button is a normal letter and not a special key. Support for
special keys will come in the next commit.

* Support using modifier keys with special keys in extra keys

This allows you to use the modifier keys on the extra keys rows together
with a special key on the extra keys rows, e.g. CTRL+LEFT.

Fixes #745, fixes most of #895 and possibly #154

* Support mapping extra keys to other actions

This adds a setting called extra-keys-map which allows you to map a key
on the extra keys rows to another action. The value is a json object
where the key is the button text as configured in extra-keys and the
value is the action. Multiple actions can be used, but if they are
special characters (like ESC or LEFT) they have to be separated from the
other characters with a space on each side. If you want an actual space
character, use SPACE.

For example if you want to add a key to go to the next active channel in
weechat, you can use this:
    extra-keys-map = {"weechat next": "ESC a"}
And then add "weechat next" to extra-keys. The name can of course be
whatever you want.

Or if you want the button for the UP arrow to show ⇧ instead of ↑, you
can use this:
    extra-keys-map = {"⇧": "UP"}
And put "⇧" in extra-keys instead of "UP".

Modifier keys (ctrl, alt and shift) can't be used in this map yet.
Support for ctrl and alt will come in the next commit.

I think this fixes #1186

* Support CTRL and ALT in extra keys map

This allows you to use CTRL and ALT in extra-keys-map.

For example if you want a button to exit the terminal, you can use this:

    extra-keys-map = {"exit": "CTRL d"}

And add "exit" to extra-keys.

* Support a KEYBOARD button in extra keys

This toggles showing the keyboard input method.

* Support specifying macro keys in the extra-keys option

Instead of specifying macros in the separate extra-keys-map option by
matching the key name in the two options, you can now use "macro"
instead of "key" in extra-keys, and it will be a macro, i.e. a sequence
of multiple keys separated by space.

* Remove option extra-keys-map

Now that you can specify macro in extra-keys, there is no point in
having this separate option. Instead of specifying the value to display
as key, and the macro to perform in extra-keys-map, you would now
specify the value to display in the display property and the macro to
perform in the macro property.

* Lookup display text when creating ExtraKeyButton

This will make it easier to support key aliases for macros in the next
commit.

* Add support for a key to open the drawer

Fixes (I think) #1325
