keyboard: Shift key shouldn't latch the state unless long pressed

Instead of latching all states, make shift unlatched by default, and only
latched when making a long press on the key. When not latched, the keyboard
will switch to the first level (alphabetic lowercase) after the first key
press.

Also, move the actual level switch to Key::pressed, so it feels more
reactive on long press.
