Not compatible with SFOS 4.2

[JacekJagosz]

Unfortunately the keyboard no longer works with SFOS 4.2. When I choose this keyboard the keyboard is not visible at all. I really hope it is not that hard to make it work again, as this keyboard made using SFOS so much better.

I updated today, and noticed the problem as well.

For debugging purposes I enabled the keyboard again, and then I was looking at system log via journalctl -f while trying to use the standard keyboard via notes app:

Then when I tried to activate the keyboard (reproducing the bug):

Sep 19 20:40:00 Sailfish invoker[3298]: WARNING: file:///usr/share/maliit/plugins/com/jolla/KeyboardBase.qml:137: TypeError: Cannot assign to read-only property "isShifted"

And then every time I reproduce it again, I see these lines in the log:

Sep 19 20:43:38 Sailfish invoker[3298]: WARNING: requestActivate() called for  QQuickView(0x34ce40)  which has Qt::WindowDoesNotAcceptFocus set.

I found a lot of differences between 4.1 and 4.2 on file /usr/lib/maliit/plugins/jolla/jolla-keyboard.qml and properties transitionRunning and gestureInProgress are removed or have been replaced.
