[X11] Reconcile logical keyboard state with physical state on FocusIn since the window system doesn't do it for us like other platforms. This prevents sticky keys and missed keys when going in and out of focus, for example Alt would appear to stick if switching away from an SDL app with Alt-Tab and had to be pressed again. CR: Sam

SDL/WinRT layer allows SDL2-based applications to run on many of Microsoft's
platforms that utilize the "Windows Runtime" (aka "WinRT") APIs. WinRT apps
are currently always full-screen apps, run in what Microsoft calls their
"Modern" environment (aka. "Metro"), and are distributed via Microsoft-run
online stores. Some of the operating systems that support such apps include:
* Windows 8.x
* Windows RT 8.x (aka. Windows 8.x for ARM processors)
* Windows Phone 8.x
To note, WinRT applications that run on Windows 8.x and/or Windows RT are often
called "Windows Store" apps.

- Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 -- Free, "Express" editions may be used, so long
as they include support for either "Windows Store" or "Windows Phone" apps.
(NOTE: MSVC 2013 support is pending. 2012 projects may be converted to 2013
projects by MSVC, in the meantime.)
- A valid Microsoft account -- This requirement is not imposed by SDL, but
rather by Microsoft's Visual C++ toolchain.

- Finish adding support for MSVC 2013, and "Universal" WinRT apps, which
support Windows 8.1, Windows Phone 8.1, and in the future, Xbox One and
Windows Desktop.
- Finish adding support for the SDL satellite libraries (SDL_image, SDL_mixer,
SDL_ttf, etc.)
- Create templates for both MSVC 2012 and MSVC 2013, and have the corresponding
VSIX packages either include pre-built copies of SDL, or reference binaries
available via MSVC's NuGet servers
- Write setup instructions that use MSVC 201x templates
- Write setup instructions that don't use MSVC 201x templates, and use
MSVC project-to-project references, rather than pre-built binaries
- Write a list of caveats found in SDL/WinRT, such as APIs that don't work due
to platform restrictions, or things that need further work
