Lua: emu.keypost() and PORT_TOGGLE do not mix #1329
Description
A key with PORT_TOGGLE property should remain 'pressed' until released, but natural_keyboard immediately releases it.
How to demo: run mess ie15 -console and then emu.keypost(utf8.char(0x100066)) (that's PrtScr key)
Cursor should move to topmost row (setup line) and remain there.

I have a fairly good idea of how to implement this. I'll note that the PORT_TOGGLE keyboard I tried first turned out to be one that shouldn't have had it in the first place (5878dd6).

@shattered: Can you confirm that 9558460 fixes this?

New LUA engine broke all my regression tests -- emu.wait() is missing and emu.keypost(utf8.char()) doesn't post the expected chars. I'll try to backport this fix first.

good news:
emu.keypost(utf8.char(0x10006a))keeps the cursor on setup line. but next keypost() doesn't move it back.emu.wait() issue is #1977
