Fix the keyboard typing pipeline + add a test that catches the regression

The earlier UIKeyInput conformance was declared in a separate extension. ObjC
protocol conformance via Swift extension is fragile when the protocol
inherits another @objc protocol (UIKeyInput inherits UITextInputTraits) — the
runtime didn't always pick up insertText:, so the on-screen keyboard came
up but characters never reached controller.type(_:).

Fix: declare UIKeyInput conformance directly on FramebufferUIView's class
declaration, with insertText / deleteBackward / hasText as native members.

Also caught and fixed by the new UI test:
- The toolbar's keyboard-icon button had a 20×13 hit region (SF Symbol size)
  even though the visual frame was 34×34 — XCUI taps couldn't land on it
  reliably. .contentShape(Rectangle()) widens the hit area to the frame.
- accessibilityValue is reserved by iOS for UIKeyInput-classed views (treats
  them as TextView), so a separate hidden "fb-diag" accessibility probe
  records keyboard plumbing events for the test to verify.

Tests:
- KeyboardInputTests (5): pure mapping from String → X11 keysym down/up pairs
- ScreensUITests.testSoftwareKeyboardSendsCharactersToFramebuffer:
  opens a session, taps the keyboard toggle, types "hi" via the system
  keyboard, and asserts the framebuffer's diagnostic probe records
  [ins:h] and [ins:i] — proving the chars reach controller.type(_:)
- A SwiftUI state probe (sessionview-state) verifies the binding flips,
  which guards against future tap-routing regressions.
