Mitchell Hashimoto ecda5ec327 macos: do not send UTF-8 PUA codepoints to key events
Fixes #7337

AppKit encodes functional keys as PUA codepoints. We don't want to send
that down as valid text encoding for a key event because KKP uses that
in particular to change the encoding with associated text.

I think there may be a more specific solution to this by only doing this
within the KKP encoding part of KeyEncoder but that was filled with edge
cases and I didn't want to risk breaking anything else.
