…gs (pythonGH-128389)

Fix `Lib/_pyrepl/windows_console.py` to support more keybindings, like the
`Ctrl`+`←` and `Ctrl`+`→` word-skipping keybindings and those with meta (i.e. Alt),
e.g. to `kill-word` or `backward-kill-word`.

Specifics: if Ctrl is pressed, emit "ctrl left" and "ctrl right" instead of just "left" or
"right," and if Meta/Alt is pressed, emit the special key code for meta before
emitting the other key that was pressed.
(cherry picked from commit 688f3a0)
