Treat dead keys in target keymaps as producing the closest equivalent
ASCII character, since many of these characters are otherwise
unrepresented on the keyboard.

Several keyboard layouts define ASCII characters as accessible only
via the AltGr modifier. Add support for this modifier to ensure that
all ASCII characters are accessible.
Experiments suggest that the BIOS console is likely to fail to
generate ASCII characters when the AltGr key is pressed. Work around
this limitation by accepting LShift+RShift (which will definitely
produce an ASCII character) as a synonym for AltGr.

Separate the concept of a keyboard mapping from a list of remapped
keys, to allow for the possibility of supporting multiple keyboard
mappings at runtime.

Rewrite genkeymap.pl in Python with added sanity checks, and update
the list of keyboard mappings to remove those no longer supported by
the underlying "loadkeys" tool.

Inspired by LILO's keytab-lilo.pl, genkeymap.pl uses "loadkeys -b" to
obtain a Linux keyboard map, and generates a file keymap_xx.c in
hci/keymap.
