RFR: 8356652: Input field ignores custom input source characters

Under the hood the Keyman input method appears as a US English keyboard layout. The characters attached to an NSEvent are always US English Roman even if the selected Keyman layout is, say, Hebrew or Dvorak. Keyman sends the correct Hebrew or Dvorak character to insertText:replacementRange: instead.

This PR special-cases the Keyman layout, detecting it using the same method that AWT does. When Keyman is active Glass records the insertText: character and uses that when sending out KeyEvents.

 - Merge remote-tracking branch 'upstream/master' into keyman
