Handle some keybindings even when a compositor grab is active

Do not ignore all key events automatically when a compositor grab
is active, and introduce a flag for masking which keybindings should
be active.
This does not mean that automatically all keybindings are active
when the compositor is modal, it merely moves the policy down to
the handler.
