1. Start NVDA reading some text.
2. Before the text finishes, press and hold shift for more than half a second.
3. Expected: Speech should pause. Releasing and pressing shift again should resume it.
4. Actual: Speech stutters until shift is released.

This happens because we now pause/resume speech whenever a shift key down is received. When you hold a single key, it sends repeated key downs until it is released.

Before #601, we only resumed speech when shift was released. However, the code to do this was fairly ugly and it also caused other problems.

The solution is to avoid executing gestures for modifiers which are already down.
