F10 and ALT keys on windows system

This issue was created automatically from an original Mantis Issue. Further discussion may take place here.

F10 and ALT keys do not generate the KeyPress event on windows system.

This is because windows make a special use of those keys (popup menu), and generates WM_SYSKEYUP/DOWN instead of the usual WM_KEYUP/DOWN message.

A possible change is to add "case WM_SYSKEYDOWN:" and "case WM_SYSKEYUP:" in conjunction with KEYDOWN and KEYUP in the vtkHandleMessage2() function of the vtkWin32RenderWindowInteractor.cxx file.
