Currently does it above interface and the event loop, which means it isn't async and may be interfered with if queued events regrab keys
This reverts commit 3bba2c5. Doesn't actually seem to work when run from threads. Needs more work

@BlueDrink9 Code Triage just landed me here. Can you and/or @sebastiansam55 take a look at this and see if it's still relevant - especially with respect to the new Wayland work? It looks like it was a big deal when it was new. |

Fixes #255, #514, #207, #424, #20, maybe others that are related to sending input.
May address issues with typing being too fast, or may exacerbate them. Who knows! But this typing system comes with a delay of its own, which may fix it for some people in the background.
Will definitely need a lot of testing, and is currently probably even more fragile than our usual system. But it works! Wow! We wondered if it could even be done!
Unsure whether it will be merged into develop proper in current form, but I'm gonna leave it alone for a while. It's burned me out a bit getting things to this state, and more fixes will require a fair bit of energy.
