Add support for {home} and {end} special character sequences

Current behavior:

cy.type('{home}') and cy.type('{end}') are not supported:

CypressError: Special character sequence: '{home}' is not recognized. Available sequences are: {selectall}, {del}, {backspace}, {esc}, {{}, {enter}, {leftarrow}, {uparrow}, {rightarrow}, {downarrow}, {alt}, {option}, {ctrl}, {control}, {meta}, {command}, {cmd}, {shift}

CypressError: Special character sequence: '{end}' is not recognized. Available sequences are: {selectall}, {del}, {backspace}, {esc}, {{}, {enter}, {leftarrow}, {uparrow}, {rightarrow}, {downarrow}, {alt}, {option}, {ctrl}, {control}, {meta}, {command}, {cmd}, {shift}

Desired behavior:

Support the {home} and {end} special character sequences.

Great suggestion. The code for special characters can be found here: https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/blob/develop/packages/driver/src/cypress/keyboard.coffee#L11

As a workaround, you should be able to create a custom command for these by triggerering the keyboard events after knowing the keyCode like this:

Cypress.Commands.add('homeKey', {prevSubject: 'element'} (subject, opts) => {
  cy.wrap(subject).trigger('keydown', {
      keyCode: 36,
      which: 36,
      shiftKey: shiftKey,
      ctrlKey: ctrlKey
  });

  return subject
});

Cypress.Commands.add('endKey', {prevSubject: 'element'} (subject, opts) => {
  cy.wrap(subject).trigger('keydown', {
      keyCode: 35,
      which: 35,
      shiftKey: opts.shiftKey,
      ctrlKey: opts.ctrlKey
  });

  return subject
});

Great job! Thanks.
