fix(cocoa): the Delete key reports Key.Backspace (8)

Browse source 
AppKit gives kVK_Delete (51) the character NSDeleteCharacter, 127, which is
what both ev_keyval (the held-key set) and win_poll (the per-frame key)
received, so Key.Backspace, which folds to 8, never matched. Both now map key
code 51 to 8.

**Backspace fires on macOS** — the Delete key reports `Key.Backspace` (8).
AppKit gives the key marked delete (kVK_Delete, 51) the character `NSDeleteCharacter`, 127,
which is what both the held-key set and the per-frame key received, so `Key.Backspace` never
matched. `cocoa.ll` maps key code 51 to 8 in both.
