[MC-129980] Some users cannot use F3-related features properly

All PCs that have the F3 key linked to any computer's setting (like brightness or volume) cannot use the F3 debug screen alone (without using shift+F3 or alt+F3). The game (or the computer) always prioritizes that setting over the Minecraft's debug screen unless using shift+F3 or alt+F3.

This makes F3 key combinations completely unusable.

The pie memory chart may hide some F3 information (block states) and causes unnecessary fps drops.

This can be solved by making the debug key editable in controls settings like every other key.

What happens when you use Fn+F3 ?
Usually you have either the native F3 and the special hardware-related function with Fn or vice versa.

It shows the pie anyway

This is FIXED in 1.13-pre2.

It's not fixed. This still affects me, I'm on a mac. I still need to press the fn key, which is annoying.

But that is not fixable because our devices are how they are. It's fixed because when you use Fn+F3 no longer shows the pie. That was really, really annoying.
