[PATCH] xkb: warn if XKB SlowKeys have been automatically enabled

Slow keys are enabled when the XKB AccessX features are generally enabled
(ctrls->enabled_ctrls & XkbAccessXKeysMask) and either shift key is held for
8 seconds. For the unsuspecting user this appears as if the keyboard
suddenly stops working.

Print a warning to the log, so we can later tell them "told you so".
