Bug Description
[IMPACT]
The spice server in Bionic depends on qemu for the led state. This is not reliable.
One implication of this is not respecting the upper and lower case (e.g. when caps lock
is on and press a single letter continuously in VM console case alternate between upper and lower).
This patch fix this issue by keeting the state internally in spice server.
[TEST CASE]
Launch a VM on an Ubuntu bionic host.
Set Caps lock on and in the VM consol press one key continuously.
[REGRESSION POTENTIAL]
The regression potential is low (tested in newer releases) and it only affects caps, scroll and number locks.
