vt: fix spurious modifier in CSI/cursor key sequences
csi_modifier_param() builds the xterm modifier parameter from
shift_state, counting KG_SHIFTL/KG_SHIFTR as Shift, KG_ALTGR as Alt
and KG_CTRLL/KG_CTRLR as Ctrl in addition to the canonical KG_SHIFT,
KG_ALT and KG_CTRL.
That is wrong when those weights are not plain modifiers. Keymaps
derived from XKB layouts (by kbd's xkbsupport, and by the
console-setup used in Debian, Ubuntu and others) encode the active
layout group using KG_SHIFTL/KG_SHIFTR:
group 1: -
group 2: shiftl
group 3: shiftr
group 4: shiftl | shiftr
So while a non-default layout group is selected, KG_SHIFTL and/or
KG_SHIFTR are set in shift_state with no Shift key held.
csi_modifier_param() then adds a spurious Shift to every cursor and
CSI key: pressing Up while group 2 is active emits ESC[1;2A (Shift+Up)
instead of ESC[A. KG_ALTGR has the same problem since it is the
standard third-level selector.
Normal keymaps bind the physical Shift/Ctrl/Alt keys to KG_SHIFT,
KG_CTRL and KG_ALT, leaving the left/right and AltGr weights free for
layout and level selection. Count only those canonical weights, so
genuine modifiers are still encoded while layout/level selectors are
not.
