Rework the Unicode hex input code. Now we only steal a single key

* gtk/gtkimcontextsimple.c: Rework the Unicode hex input
code. Now we only steal a single key combination, Ctrl-Shift-U,
instead of sixteen.
A hex Unicode sequence must be started with Ctrl-Shift-U, followed
by a sequence of hex digits entered with Ctrl-Shift still held.
Releasing one of the modifiers or pressing space while the modifiers
are still held commits the character. It is possible to erase
digits using backspace.
As an extension to the above, we also allow to start the sequence
with Ctrl-Shift-U, then release the modifiers before typing any
digits, and enter the digits without modifiers.
