iOS: hide shortcuts bar on iPad when showing menus

On iPad, a shortcuts bar with extra controls are shown
on top of the keyboard with opertions like cut and copy.
This is unwanted when using the keyboard to show menus.

This patch will add extra private information to IM
platform data when using menus, so that we hide the
shorcuts menu when showing the custom input panel.
