fix: keyCodes being incorrectly converted in webContents.sendInputEvent() #39776

Description of Change

Closes #39610.

Fixed an issue where accelerators representing DOM keys were not correctly converted in webContents.sendInputEvent(). This was happening because our internal conversion logic was correctly parsing strings their respective ui::KeyboardCode values, but then failing to check whether the DOM code represented a standalone valid character. This led to an issue where a call to, for example, w.webContents.sendInputEvent({ keyCode: 'Plus', type: 'char' }) would get truncated and then sent to the input as the char string and not the dom key character if one existed.
