[PATCH] ui/ncurses: Call widget process_key handlers first

Adding KEY_LEFT and KEY_RIGHT brought to light the problem that
widgetset_process_keys() may handle keystrokes that would have also been
handled by a widget's process_keys function. In particular the cursor
in a textbox widget could no longer be moved with the left/right keys.

This updates widgetset_process_keys() to call the focussed widget's
process_keys function before handling the key in any other way. All of
the widget process_keys functions correctly return false if the key is
not relevant to the widget except for textbox_process_key() which is
updated to ignore the main navigational keys.
