[Crawl] Exit due to typo (non-English keyboard)

Casting a spell that's on 'p', but accidentally pressing 'ü' (umlaut
'ue', on the German keyboard it's right next to 'p'), the game exits
with one of its usual crash reports.

Tested it with the official binary ("This is Dungeon Crawl 4.0.0
beta 26 (Last build Mar 26 2003)."), too, and had the same happen:

The character 'ü' is #129 with my <whatever you call it, you know,
charset or something?>.

Trying out 'ö' (oe, #148) and 'ß' (ss, #225) asks for a direction,
'ä' (ae, #132) tells me I don't know that spell, so it's just 'ü'
that's weird.

Not surprising... the key input system is a real mess, with all kinds
of different types and assumptions. My only suggestion for now is
to try making a keymap of 'ü' to escape and see if that manages to
cut out this problem.
