[console] Handle remapping of scancode 86
The key with scancode 86 appears in the position between left shift
and Z on a US keyboard, where it typically fails to exist entirely.
Most US keyboard maps define this nonexistent key as generating "\|",
with the notable exception of "loadkeys" which instead reports it as
generating "<>". Both of these mapping choices duplicate keys that
exist elsewhere in the map, which causes problems for our ASCII-based
remapping mechanism.
Work around these quirks by treating the key as generating "\|" with
the high bit set, and making it subject to remapping. Where the BIOS
generates "\|" as expected, this allows us to remap to the correct
ASCII value.
