Trackpad and key row go through gamescope's input; KDE Connect only for accents and emoji

The pad reaches whichever panel has focus (Steam's menus too), needs nothing installed, and no longer clamps to 1280x720. Characters that aren't on a US keyboard start KDE Connect the first time they're typed.

keyboard through to the Frame until you press Esc (⌘ is sent as Ctrl on a Mac).
It goes through **KDE Connect**, the first-party route (KDE makes the Frame's
desktop): Frame Control's server runs [`ui/frame_input_agent.py`](../ui/frame_input_agent.py)
on the Frame, which talks KDE Connect's own LAN protocol to the Frame's
`kdeconnectd` as if it were a phone. KDE Connect does the typing and clicking.
Since Control (below), the pad goes through **gamescope's own input socket**
([`ui/frame_touch.py`](../ui/frame_touch.py)), so it reaches whichever panel has
focus, Steam's own menus included, and needs nothing installed on the Frame.
Only characters that aren't on a US keyboard (accents, emoji) go through
