ui/gtk: vte: fix sending multiple characeters

When using the GTK UI with libvte, multicharacter keystrokes are not
sent correctly (such as arrow keys). gd_vc_in should check the
CharBackend's can_receive instead of assuming multiple characters can be
received. This is not an issue for e.g. the SDL UI because
qemu_chr_be_write is called with len=1 for each character (SDL sends
more than once keystroke).

Modify gd_vc_in to call qemu_chr_be_write multiple times if necessary.
