tui: fix shift+space/backspace/delete on kitty-protocol terminals

Kitty and other smart terminals send a specific CSI u control code for
these shifted special keys, which are interpreted as a no-op by the
editor component. These should send the underlying key instead, matching
the behaviour of other TUI programs (e.g. readline, vim insert mode).

On less smart terminals, these key combinations are the same as the
non-shifted versions, and so already work with the existing code.
