Better drop shadow under keys

Done Appearance, themes & sound fixed in 2.1.3

Enhanced drop shadow shadow effect. The current effect has almost negligible appearance.

Maybe more like the Yandex keyboard

@alphaec004 the current shadow copies the iOS one, a 1pt line under the key, so yeah, it's easy to miss. And on transparent or dark themes it isn't drawn at all. In 2.1.3 there's a new option under Key details: turn on Key shadow, then Strong shadow. It adds a 2pt dark bottom edge under every key, works on transparent and dark themes too, and solid themes get a softer, bigger shadow. If you can send a screenshot of the Yandex keys you like, I'll tune the depth and darkness to match.

It's subtle but looks nice.

@alphaec004 the Yandex shadow is a sharp 1pt edge with no blur, which the options I had didn't offer. In 2.1.3 you can pick the shadow style under Key shadow: Soft, Crisp (the Yandex-like edge) or Strong, and Crisp and Strong also show up on transparent and dark themes.
