Backported patch

Description of problem:
Vte sends the same sequences for Ctrl + Home / Ctrl + End keys as for Home / End:

Ctrl + Home: \eOH
Ctrl + End:  \eOF
Home: \eOH
End:  \eOF

So it's impossible for apps to distinguish Ctrl / non Ctrl variants or even workaround this somehow. For example Midnight commander uses these keys in its default binding and the functions binded to Ctrl + Home / End are not available.

Vte upstream recently patched 3.x to send correct sequences (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=600659).

In Fedora there are packages which needs vte 2.x and this functionality is broken there.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
vte-0.28.2-10.fc20

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Check the sequences sent by terminal for Ctrl + Home / End

Actual results:
Ctrl + Home: \eOH
Ctrl + End:  \eOF

Expected results:
Ctrl + Home \e[1;5H
Ctrl + End  \e[1;5F
