QKeyEvent::text() inconsistency between Linux and Mac

For a key event triggered by the cursor keys, QKeyEvent::text() returns
char with value 0x14 or similar. This patch (Cocoa only)will remove
text from all key events for the unicode range 0xF700-0xF747. This is
part of the corporate unicode range used by apple for keyboard function keys.
