Subject: [PATCH] searchController: Let an input method process key events

It is expected that users can select a candidate using the keyboard when
an input method shows preedit text and optionally a candidate popup.
To enable this, every key event needs to be propagated if the search
entry has preedit text.

Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/7606
