Subject: [PATCH] Always show the on-screen keyboard on Steam Deck

Steam will eventually have smarts about whether a keyboard is active and will igore the request appropriately.

Fixes https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/12595

(cherry picked from commit 03a53ce0d12163ee5f7986f9603d2ac010fba947)
