Arrow keys and volume keys are not working #6

Description

@ilius

Hi
I have a phone with physical QWERTY keyboard, and there are two features missing in this program that I need:
1- Handling arrow keys (up, down, left, right)
2- Handling volume up and down keys
Which both are essential for using in XBMC (with Raspberry Pi)

I started debugging the host Go code, and I realized the keyboard event for arrow keys are being sent, but it's empty and unrecognizable.
In file server/keyboard.go, function processKeyboard(), message.GetString() is empty string, and I tried printing out other attributes of message object (defined in scratch/messages.go), but I couldn't find any attribute that makes it different for arrow keys.

And almost the same happens in processKeyboard for volume keys, but this time, err variable (from GetString) is EOF

Unfortunately I have no experience with Android programming (I don't know how to compile Android code yet)

    A very nice application but it would be nice indeed if the arrow keys are working.
    I did try to use it on android with the hackers keyboard.

    Thanks in advance.
