("[PATCH v2 0/2] SDL2 usability fixes")

Windows sends an extra left control key up/down input event for every right alt key up/down input event for keyboards with international layout. Since commit 830473455f ("ui/sdl2: fix handling of AltGr key on Windows") QEMU uses a Windows low level keyboard hook procedure to reliably filter out the special left control key and to grab the keyboard on Windows.

SDL2 version 2.0.16 introduced its own Windows low level keyboard hook procedure to grab the keyboard. When enabled with a grabbed keyboard, this disables the special left control key filter and handling of the AltGr key on Windows is broken again.

This patch fixes handling of the AltGr key on Windows with international keyboard layout.
