GUACAMOLE-352: Add support for typing using dead keys within RDP.
This change leverages the existing mapping of dead keys within Guacamole's
RDP keymaps to type using dead keys as necessary within the remote desktop,
even though Guacamole will not receive key events for dead keys itself.
If the RDP layout lacks a specific key for a key pressed by the user,
Guacamole will now try to decompose that key into its corresponding dead and
base keys. If this succeeds, and both the dead key and base key are defined
within the RDP keyboard layout, then the key is typed within the remote desktop
using the dead and base keys. If typing the key is impossible through any other
mechanism, Guacamole will still resort to using Unicode events.
