Returns whether a key went up this frame — held last frame, not held now. The falling edge, for release-triggered actions (charge-and-release, letting go of a grip).

```ludic
program Demo {
  entry {
    Input.press('a')
    Input.poll()
    Input.release('a')
    Input.poll()
    if Input.key_released('a') { print(1) }
  }
}
```
