JDK-4474756 - Underscore input impossible with Robot Class (for Japanese Keyboards)
Description
On a standard 109-key Japanese keyboard, the yen key and the backslash key 
both generate a backslash since they have the same charCode (92) for the 
WM_CHAR message.  We should distinguish them by making the backslash key 
have KEY_LOCATION_LEFT and the yen key have KEY_LOCATION_RIGHT.
