iOS: send IM events instead of fake key events

Sending faked key events is not such a good idea, since:
1. We don't get key events on iOS, but text events
2. We cannot determine correct key code or modifiers, nor
    do we want to fake modifer press/release etc.
3. Android uses IM for all text input

So it seems that the correct solution is to avoid sending
key events in the first place. This will also bring the iOS
port on par with the Android port.
