hterm: ctrl+shift+u (shortcut for entering unicode chars by codepoint) doesn't work

Project Member Reported by vapier@chromium.org, Jun 21 2017 
if you try using ctrl+shift+u, things behave weirdly

on Linux, it just gets ignored everywhere as if you didn't press anything.  on CrOS, it sends ctrl+u, but then seems to eat all keypresses (except ctrl sequences?) until you hit enter.

it would be nice if we behaved like Linux/CrOS and allowed people to type in these things.  i suspect the UI is (partially?) capturing these and not sending them through.

this seems to work already.  i think i was doing it wrong: you have to press ctrl+shift+u to start, and then let go of all keys, and then enter the hex code.

testing that on Linux & CrOS shows it working.  i'll add a FAQ to make it clear.

unfortunately, macOS does its own thing (of course) and relies on the alt key.  so it's not going to work well (or at all).  issue 758715 should improve that though.
