[REF] barcodes: simplify isSpecialKey method

Note that more 'non printable keys' are escaped now, like 'Home'.
This seems like a bit naive solution but it avoids having to list
every key.
The only issue we might have is if a device sends the whole value in the
'key' property directly without sending sequentially several keydown events.

As a reminder, 'ctrlKey', 'metaKey', 'altKey' properties are used
because we also want to ignore keys pressed while this modifier is
active. For example, if you press CTRL+e, we want to ignore 'CTRL'
AND 'e'.
