include/nuttx/input: define all four keyboard event types

Browse source 
keyboard.h declares KEYBOARD_PRESS and KEYBOARD_RELEASE only, but the
type field of struct keyboard_event_s has four values:  the two special
key types live in kbd_codec.h, under a different prefix.

Somebody writing a keyboard driver reads keyboard.h, sees two types, and
implements two types.  Six of the nine drivers that register a keyboard
never report a special key at all, and the failure is silent:  the build
is clean and the symptom is a key that does nothing.

Define all four here, as aliases of the kbd_decode() return values so
that a driver can feed both this interface and the byte stream codec
from a single source.
