KEY_EVENT is/was only a possible return-value from wgetch if the key-events
feature is configured.  If someone's testing for its existence (rather than
as a valid return-value), that's an api change, arguably.  abi didn't change...

(key-events hasn't gotten much use anyway - developer didn't provide any
documentation or examples of use)
