Enable Kitty Keyboard Protocol via kkp

Terminal frames (e.g. those opened with 'emacsclient -t') can only send
key combinations that fit into legacy terminal escape codes, so many
bindings that work in GUI frames silently fail there. In particular, the
C-S-s binding for shell-pop (eshell) in lisp/misc.el was unreachable from
a -t frame.

kkp negotiates the Kitty Keyboard Protocol with terminals that support
it, letting Emacs receive richer key events: C-M-S chords, distinct C-h
vs C-<backspace>, Hyper/Super, and more. Hooking global-kkp-mode onto
tty-setup enables it per-terminal, so each new emacsclient -t frame gets
it automatically, and it's a no-op on terminals that don't speak the
protocol.
