[PATCH] Synchronize capslock in Xnest and Xephyr

In Xnest or Xephyr, pressing CapsLock when focus is on another
window does not update the state in the nested X server.

This is because when synchronizing the lock modifier, sending a
keypress or a key release only is not sufficient to toggle the state,
unlike regular modifiers, one has to emulate a full press/release
to lock or unlock the modifier.
