Send ESC with Alt for unicode inputalt-esc-unicode

Make `Alt` send `ESC` for unicode input the way it's done for ASCII.
Previously it was disabled because of macOS, however on macOS we're
using the `option_as_alt` setting, which solves the original issue.

The `Alt` prefixing is still disabled for the unicode strings, like
when they come from the compose input.

Fixes #7852.
