Patch that effectively disables TranslateMessage

If TranslateMessage's ability to send messages is removed, the following
happens:

Ctrl+1, Ctrl+2, Ctrl+3 assign control groups 1, 2, 3
Alt+1, Alt+2, Alt+3 select control groups 1, 2, 3
1, 2, 3 do nothing

Further testing revealed that Ctrl+1,2,3 and Alt+1,2,3 continue to work because
they are handled by TranslateAccelerator, not TranslateMessage. Likewise,
Shift+1,2,3 is handled by TranslateAccelerator, even though these combinations
do nothing. Starcraft simply depends on TranslateMessage sending a WM_CHAR
message with the character '1', '2', or '3' to select control group 1, 2, or 3.
On a US keyboard, WM_CHAR messages are correctly sent with the characters 1 2
3, and on a French keyboard, WM_CHAR messages are correctly sent with the
characters & é ".

I tried running Starcraft on a real Windows 7 box with a French keyboard
layout. The exact same bug occurs. In this end, this is a bug in Starcraft, not
a bug in Wine, and should be marked INVALID.

To play Starcraft with a French keyboard, either change your keyboard layout,
always hold down Alt when selecting control groups, or always use the num pad
when selecting control groups. Happy gaming!
