experimental/input-method: Implement only text-input counterparts

Browse source 
This change strips down the protocol to functionality that corresponds
to text-input-v3, is already useful, typically implemented in the wild
(squeekboard), and well-understood.

Dificult to implement well functionality like keyboard grabs is removed
to find a better solution without stopping the development of the basic
functionality.

Allow an input method to receive hardware keyboard input and process
key events to generate text events (with pre-edit) over the wire. This
allows input methods which compose multiple key events for inputting
text like it is done for CJK languages.
The compositor should send all keyboard events on the seat to the grab
holder via the returned wl_keyboard object. Nevertheless, the
compositor may decide not to forward any particular event. The
compositor must not further process any event after it has been
forwarded to the grab holder.
Releasing the resulting wl_keyboard object releases the grab.

Negative values for either rate or delay are illegal. A rate of zero
