Patch for control key sequences

Control key sequences from hardware keyboards (wireless/USB/bluetooth) get not properly reported on Android devices.
The attached patch uses the idea from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12337117/capture-all-ctrl-under-android to make control key sequences appear as normal SDL_KEYDOWN events instead of cooked text input.

patch for control key on android

Hi ! 
Yes this is needed! Here's more or less an updated patch.
With also some common code and it makes software keyboards works like hardware keyboards.
