iOS: add undo/redo support

Enable the undo/redo buttons on the keyboard, as well as the
Cmd-Z/Cmd-Shift-Z shortcuts.

For UIKit to support this, we need to add undo actions to
first responders undo manager. Since we don't know if Qt
has anything to undo/redo, we just enable the shortcuts
all the time. To do that, we trick NSUndoManager to always
have both an undo operation and a redo operation in the
stack.
