protocol: define key codes in wl_keyboard.key

Simon Ser requested to merge emersion/wayland:keyboard-key-codes into master

Explain that wl_keyboard.key yields platform-specific key codes. Some compositors use Linux key codes (defined in the linux/input-event-codes.h header file, e.g. KEY_ESC), however clients should not assume that this is always the case. The only reliable way for clients to interpret key codes is to feed them into a keyboard mapping.
