ClutterVirtualInputDevice has the limitation that event flags won't be
made to contain CLUTTER_EVENT_FLAG_INPUT_METHOD, possibly causing feedback
loops.
As the event gets injected up the platform dependent bits, we can avoid
care on not pressing the same key twice, we still expect coherence between
key presses and releases from the IM though.

The input method may hint that certain keycodes should be pressed/released
besides the textual information in ::commit. An example is hitting space
in some IMs to commit text, where both ::commit happens, and an space is
visibly inserted. In order to handle this properly, we must honor
::forward-key-press.
In order to cater for the case that a keypress is forwarded while handling
that same keypress in a physical keyboard, check the current event being
handled and just forward it as-is if it matches. This is necessary to
prevent state from being doubly set, and the second event silenced away.

Even though we are using an "xkb" source, it still makes sense to
pass the event through the IBus simple engine, in order to let it
handle compose keys and ctrl+shift+[u|e].

When not using arrow notation with anonymous functions, we use Lang.bind()
to bind `this` to named callbacks. However since ES5, this functionality
is already provided by Function.prototype.bind() - in fact, Lang.bind()
itself uses it when no extra arguments are specified. Just use the built-in
function directly where possible, and use arrow notation in the few places
where we pass additional arguments.

This is a ClutterInputMethod implementation using IBus underneath. The
input method will interact with the currently focused ClutterInputFocus,
be it shell chrome or wayland clients through the text_input protocol.
