Summary: Adding maxlength for multiline-inputtext (DHTML)

Details:
The HTML- object does not support maxlength natively, so we need to
implement a js-solution for DHTML.
To get the best visual experience, I'm using the "onkeypress"-event,
this way we can easily interrupt any user-input as soon as the maxlength
for the inputtext has been reached.
As keyboard-events are handled quite differently across all supported
browsers, I needed to add a couple of new quirks to LzSprite, but most
of them should be self-explanatory (also see
http://www.quirksmode.org/js/keys.html).
Pasting text into an inputtext is special-handled to match Flash's
behaviour as much as possible:
- for IE/Safari, I'm simply using the "onbeforepaste"-event
- for Firefox/Opera, I need to detect paste manually because these
browsers do not support "onbeforepaste"
Flash-behaviour: you can only paste that much chars, as you have still
available in the inputtext.
Changes in LzText and LzInputText fixes two "stale-data" bugs: you
cannot use LzInputText#text to retrieve the current text-value, because
this property does not get updated when the user types in any text.
Instead of that, you must use LzInputText#getText().
