src/ncurses_ui.cc: Teach Kakoune about ctrl-symbol keys.
Previously, Kakoune only handled ctrl-codes less than 27, representing them as lower-case ASCII codes. For regular keys like <c-a>, that worked fine. However, NUL became the unorthodox <c-`> and other ctrl-symbols (<c-\>, <c-]>, <c-_>) weren't supported at all. Now NUL is rendered as the more comfortable <c-space>, and the other ctrl-symbol codes are properly decoded. Fixes #2553.
