Windows does not like Pause key sent with same scancodes as Break.
Although is the same physical key the two functions send two completely
different set of codes. On key press a E1 1D 45 sequence is generated
while on key release a E1 9D C5 is generated. Also some hardware
keyboards send press+release at the same time on key press (nothing on
release).
Tested with Linux and Windows clients.
Tested with Linux, Windows and DOS guests.
On Windows guest VK_PAUSE was not arriving correctly.
An additional send_pause function was added to avoid to change the
normal flow too much. This as the keymap table (generated from
src/keymaps.csv) can hold only one scancode while this key generate two
scancodes (ie E1-1D and 45) for each event.
