The winit backend (and libinput backend) already don't produce key repeat events like this.

Needs rebase

If we require dri3 and present, it should be fair to assume xinput2 as
well. This will be needed if we want to add touch and gesture events,
etc.
This backend should avoid producing key press events for key repeat,
the libinput backend.

You can see in `wev` that this prevents repeated key press events on
held keys that don't happen with libinput.

Not supressing key repetition in backends seems like it was a bug, and
should be fixed as of Smithay/smithay#1535.

So an argument for this should be unnecessary now.
