[Spice-devel] [spice-gtk] Ignore modifiers messages if no modifiers changed

[Frediano Ziglio]

This avoid keep sending modifiers changes if guest is not
synchronising the changes.

I consider this as an improving as this avoids client to try again
and again to force synchronisation however this does not prevent
every unwanted keystroke insertion which possibly can be a real
problem on some configurations.

For instance if guest do not handle caps lock as the client do
if client uses another modifiers (as num lock) this can force
inserting virtual caps keypress.
