Implement support for Alt code text input on Windows

[mrly21]

Godot version

4.1

System information

win10

Issue description

it's quite rare to find editors that don't support Alt-codes (after all, they are part of the native OS).

This unfortunately makes Godot much less useful for making internationally supported applications and games involving lots of text entry.

Indeed, I agree on this. At least, for me this has been a major draw back that ultimately kept me away from Godot. It's not just because it makes coding a slow and painful process (which does matter), but also due to the fact that it makes Godot a rather US-centric app — i.e., assumes users are working on a US keyboard.

Steps to reproduce

alt+62 alt+60 It doesn't work

Minimal reproduction project

As mentioned in that issue, we don't know a way to provide this without breaking certain default editor shortcuts (or user-made shortcuts in projects).

Alt code input is supported, but only Unicode version (hold Alt, press num pad + key followed by hexadecimal character code).

I have a US keyboard remaped into a french keyboard... So I don't have a key for < and >, and have to mainly rely on alt code.
