[wrangler] fix: hotkeys work with Caps Lock enabled

[matingathani]

Fixes #13449.

When Caps Lock is on (or Shift is held without Ctrl/Meta), Node.js readline emits key events as { name: "a", shift: true } — lowercase letter with shift: true. The hotkey matcher was building "shift+b" from this and comparing against registered keys like "b", silently ignoring the keypress.

Fix: When shift is the sole active modifier (no ctrl, no meta), the matcher now also checks the plain key name alongside the "shift+key" form. This means:

• b with Caps Lock on → emits { name: "b", shift: true } → builds "shift+b", also tries "b" → matches
• Ctrl+C → still only matches "ctrl+c" (shift fallback only applies when shift is the sole modifier)
• Explicit "shift+a" bindings still work via exact match on char

Test fix: The existing "handles CAPSLOCK" test was modelling Caps Lock as { name: "A", shift: false } (uppercase name, no shift flag) — but readline actually emits lowercase name with shift: true. Updated to accurately reflect readline's behavior.

Pull request overview

Fixes Wrangler dev-server hotkey matching when Caps Lock is enabled by accommodating Node.js readline’s { name: "x", shift: true } emission pattern, and updates tests/changeset accordingly.

Changes:

• Add a Shift-only normalization fallback so plain hotkeys (e.g. "b") still match when readline reports shift: true with a lowercase name.
• Update the Caps Lock test fixture to reflect actual readline key event shape and add coverage for ctrl/meta + shift behavior.
• Add a patch changeset documenting the fix.
