input: "ignore" binding action are still be processed by the OS/GUI

Browse Source 
Related to #7468

This changes the behavior of "ignore". Previously, Ghostty would
consider "ignore" actions consumed but do nothing. They were like a
black hole. Now, Ghostty returns `ignored` which lets the apprt forward
the event to the OS/GUI.

This enables keys that would otherwise be pty-encoded to be processed
later, such as for GTK to show the GTK inspector.
