Subject: KeyboardSimulator: Add `simpleKeyPressWithKey:` method

This as yet untested method will be responsible for simulating a key
press given a single-character string corresponding to the glyph of the
key to be pressed.

It relies on `keyCodeForChar:` to get the `CGKeyCode` corresponding to
the glyph, a method which is currently just a placeholder.
