[PATCH] Wayland: Cancel repeat only on last key press

When pressing multiple keys at once, the last key pressed gets repeated
even after release when an older key is kept depressed.

Pressing "a" then "b" and release "a" will repeat "b" until "a" is
released.

This can be problematic when a key release is not received (e.g. a
keyboard hardware issue that would keep a key pressed), every last key
press is repeated even after the key is released.

Make the Wayland backend more resilient to such possible issue by
stopping key repeat when the last key pressed is released (like Xorg
which doesn't have this issue).
