    Fix readev() infinite loop on read error in Wayland backend

    Handle read() returning -1 (error) or 0 (EOF) instead of spinning
    forever. Use ssize_t for the return value and break out of the loop
    on fatal errors, retrying only on EINTR. (Coverity CID 501974)

    Don't pass the translated evdev code to xkbcommon

    We want to actually pass the CORRECT value to the API so arrow keys
    fail and things work.

    Make the translated evdev_key be tevdev_key (used ALMOST everywhere)

    conio/wayland: fix key repeat sending numpad digits for arrows

    bug ticket 242: holding arrows under Wayland produced ASCII digits
    (Left=4, Right=6, Up=8, Down=2, etc.) once key-repeat began.

    send_scancode() stored the remapped BIOS scancode in repeat_key,
    but handle_key_repeat() feeds repeat_key back into send_scancode()
    as if it were an evdev code. BIOS scancode 75 (Left) collides with
    evdev KEY_KP4, so the xkb path returned '4' on repeat Ä and the
    same coincidence covers all the other reported keys.

    Store the original evdev_key in repeat_key consistently, and match
    release events against evdev_key.
