Enable full-size QWERTY keyboard in native OSK outside XMB/VSH

New Feature

The full-size QWERTY keyboard built into the PSP's stock OSK only appears to work when the OSK is invoked within the XMB/VSH (e.g. changing nickname, using Browser, PSN stuff, etc). Invoking the system OSK within any game/app outside the XMB however (e.g. Custom Launcher, LittleBigPlanet level rename) doesn't offer the ability to switch to the full QWERTY keyboard with the SELECT button, so you're stuck with the T9-style keyboard instead. It would be nice, if it's even possible, to 'unlock' the full size QWERTY keyboard mode across all PSP software using the native OSK calls unless something like memory limitations or whatever prevents it.

It's an interesting idea, not sure how possible it is but would be worth investigating.

Just to add an extra note, it seems like when Sony added the full size keyboard they also added a new vsh plugin for it, osk_plugin_500.prx, in place of presumably the prior osk_plugin.prx. That may explain why non-VSH software didn't officially get access to the QWERTY layout. Never mind, the above osk_plugin_500 stuff seems to only have been a thing on 5.00 era OFW as current OFW only ships one plugin (so it probably is down to a check in osk_plugin instead).

If the plugin is only meant to run in vsh we might run into issues to run it on games/homebrew, but it's certaintly something to be checked.
