[uievents-code] 'IntlHash' should be dropped from the spec (#9)

As far as I tested, on Windows, 'IntlHash' key causes same scancode value as 'Backslash' key. Similarly, on Mac, 'IntlHash' key causes same virtual keycode value as 'Backslash' key. On X11 (I tested with GDK's hardware_keycode), 'IntlHash' key causes same hardware keycode as 'Backslash' key. On Android, 'IntlHash' key causes same scancode as 'Backslash' key.

So, on all platforms supported by Firefox, 'IntlHash' key looks like 'Backslash' key from application. Therefore, I propose that the spec should drop 'IntlHash' value and define the key should cause 'Backslash' code value.

FYI: Chromium on Windows 10 also sets 'Backslash' key for 'IntlHash' key.
