We can't use QtWayland without upstream changes - it doesn't expose
locked modifiers which is the one part we want :(

Given it requires a new protocol regardless, new kwayland client code
regardless and special handling in kwin when a modifier is pressed,
reusing keyboard doesn't save us anything and comes with the cost of
being less flexible for future. I would go for Aleix's original
proposal.
