Releasing lock modifiers during Auto Type does not work reliably on X11 and can cause some modifiers to get stuck and more precisely layout switching can get stuck.
Instead of trying to find out what modifiers to release we can be dumb and just abort when the user is holding modifiers that may affect the typing sequence.
With #6357 merged we return a retry request if modifiers are held.
Fixes #6350 and #1915 after #6357 is merged and this is rebased on top of it.
