Typematrix, keycodes & dead keys

[wismill]

I am creating this MR only to make sure my work does not get lost, but I have no plan anymore to work on Kalamine.

The MR adds:

• Typematrix geometry
• Support for special symbols (e.g. Enter, Shift, etc.)
• Custom dead keys (and corresponding Compose generation)
• Support for strings (XKB only, but all drivers should support it)
• Support mapping without using the ASCII art
• Support cloning keys/levels
• Keycodes refactor (see Keycodes refactor #171)
• Numpad keys

This got out of sync and may require KLC and macOS implementation.

Feel free to build on it (leave me as co-author).

---

Example:

name        = "xxx"
name8       = "xxx"
locale      = "fr"
variant     = "xxx"
description = "xxx"
author      = "xxx"
url         = "https://github.com/Lysquid/Erglace"
geometry    = "TYPEMATRIX"
version     = "0.3.3"

# NOTE: Support for strings, see: U/Où
# NOTE: Support for system symbols: ⌫, ⎇, etc.

I’ll update this as it might fix the numpad decimal not working bug
