Fix documentation of Fl_Shortcut

Browse Source 
Unfortunately this typedef for shortcuts in Fl_Menu_Items etc.
can currently not be used with the full (21-bit) range of Unicode.

These restrictions are now documented but should be removed in a
future version, if possible.

/** 24-bit Unicode character + 8-bit indicator for keyboard flags */ /** 16-bit Unicode character + 8-bit indicator for keyboard flags.
\note This \b should be 24-bit Unicode character + 8-bit indicator for
keyboard flags. The upper 8 bits are currently unused but reserved.
Due to compatibility issues this type and all FLTK \b shortcuts can only
be used with 16-bit Unicode characters (<tt>U+0000 .. U+FFFF</tt>) and
not with the full range of unicode characters (<tt>U+0000 .. U+10FFFF</tt>).
This is caused by the bit flags \c FL_SHIFT, \c FL_CTRL, \c FL_ALT, and
\c FL_META being all in the range <tt>0x010000 .. 0x400000</tt>.
\todo Discuss and decide whether we can "shift" these special keyboard
flags to the upper byte to enable full 21-bit Unicode characters
(<tt>U+0000 .. U+10FFFF</tt>) plus the keyboard indicator bits as this
was originally intended. This would be possible if we could rely on \b all
programs being coded with symbolic names and not hard coded bit values.
\internal Can we do the move for 1.4 or, if not, for any later version
that is allowed to break the ABI?
