/* The event handling starts with the Scanner calling handle_keyswitch_event() for
 * every key in the matrix, and it is the task of this method to figure out what
 * to do, it is the main entry point.
 *
 * This function will iterate through an array of handler functions, and stop as
 * soon as one of them signals that the event has been handled. To make it
 * possible to inject synthetic events, one can call handle_keyswitch_event from
 * within a custom handler (making the event handling recursive), with a
 * different keycode.
 *
 * This is useful for example for one-shot modifiers, where we would like to
 * temporarily disable the one-shot functionality, and have them work as a
 * normal modifier instead. In this case, the keymap would contain a key with
 * OSM flags set, and the event handler would remove the OSM flags, and let the
 * system handle the key as it would have, without the OSM flags. So we simply
 * clear the flags, and call handle_keyswitch_event again, with the modifier keycode
 * as the first argument. This way, we could insert an event, and have the whole
 * chain re-process it, instead of registering the keycode ourselves with HID
 * ourselves. Injecting allows any and all custom handlers to have a chance,
 * too.
 *
 * For this reason, the handle_keyswitch_event receives four arguments: the mapped key
 * (or Key_NoKey if we do not want to override what is in the keymap), the row
 * and column of the key, so we can look up the code for it, and the current and
 * previous state of the key, so we can determine what the event is. The
 * currentState may be flagged INJECTED, which signals that the event was
 * injected, and is not a direct result of a keypress, coming from the scanner.
