Apparently the "packet" key code is special, so we shouldn't treat it as
a function key.
I have removed it from the list of function keys that Emacs recognizes,
so the behaviour should go back to what it was before. However my
testing shows that we cannot receive Unicode characters outside the
current codepage using VK_PACKET as Windows replaces such characters
with '?' by the time we receive them. It appears that a low level
keyboard hook may be able to retrieve the original character though, so
if we receive Lennart's cleaned up keyboard hook patches I'll try to
look at VK_PACKET support again.
