Use explicit virtual modifiers declarations
A virtual modifier should always be declared before its use. They are a
few missing entries, that currently work only because they are not used
in isolation.
But since XKB is about composability, we should ensure that every
component compiles in isolation, so this commit adds the missing
`virtual_modifiers` entries.

Fix Apple Russian layout
All Apple keyboards I could find for over 20 years history till these days have swapped Russian layout symbols between TLDE and LSGT keys, so current layout probably never existed.

commit 6041b1ab3777f8b7166a89ebcc839edd84266972

Fix af layout with olpc model
Add `olpc` variant to `af` in order to fix compilation with the `olpc`
model. There are already various olpc vendor-specific variants in `af`
symbols. As the default variant for `af` is for the Dari language, make
also `olpc` variant an alias for the olpc Dari variant `fa-olpc`.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xkeyboard-config/xkeyboard-config/-/merge_requests/764>
commit 7c857f156ffb8c95b534beb7bf98171a62cdf5d1
Author: Pierre Le Marre <dev@wismill.eu>
Date: Tue Oct 29 19:20:46 2024 +0100
Fix vendor rules
Some vendor rules match only on the layout but use the variant in
their symbols mapping. Such rules will make the keymap compilation
fail when a variant is not in the vendor-specific symbol file.
Example: the following rule
! model layout = symbols
$applealu $macvendorlayouts = macintosh_vndr/apple(alukbd)+macintosh_vndr/%l%(v)
used with the RMLVO (evdev; applealu_iso; gb; mac_intl) would produce
the following erroneous symbols include:
macintosh_vndr/apple(alukbd)+macintosh_vndr/gb(mac_intl)
This fails because `mac_intl` is not a variant of `macintosh_vndr/gb`,
but of `gb`.
This commit fixes the issue by filtering vendor-specific variants,
having the vendor-agnostic symbols as a fallback.
Note that while it works perfectly for layouts in the first position,
layouts in later positions that have 1) a corresponding vendor-specific
file but 2) require a vendor-agnostic variant, will load the vendor-
specific symbols before importing the relevant section. To illustrate,
the RMLVO config (evdev; applealu_iso; ara,gb; ,mac_intl) would result
in the symbols:
macintosh_vndr/apple(alukbd)+ara+macintosh_vndr/gb:2+gb(mac_intl):2
where `macintosh_vndr/gb:2` will be overriden by the following `gb(mac_intl):2`.
This is unfortunate, but there does not seem to be a workaround for it.
---
We would need to extend the rules syntax with a new wild card (e.g. ‘-’
or ‘∅’) to be able to match a missing variant, e.g.:
! model layout[2] variant[2] = symbols
$applealu gb - = +macintosh_vndr/gb:2
$applealu gb * = +%l[2]%(v[2]):2
While at it, another wild card to match both present *and* missing
variant would be really useful as well.

Add support for the Microsoft Copilot key
MS specs require that the copilot key sends Win + Shift + F23 instead of
its own custom keysym. Add this to the default inet mapping so the F23

Improve one-handed layouts description
Currently layouts designed to be used with only one hand have the
English descriptions: “left handed” and “right handed”. This is
ambiguous, as it highlights *handedness* rather than one-hand typing.
Translations in some languages may thus convey only the former
understanding, which is incorrect.
Clarify that these layouts are for typing with only *one* hand.

fr(bre): Fix Ch, C’h and Greek capitals
- Fix “Ch” and “C’h” capitals: they should be on CapsLock, where the
user expects them. There is a dedicated key type
`FOUR_LEVEL_PLUS_LOCK` used in other layouts for similar situations.
- Fix Greek capital letters.
- Move some Greek letters:
- Move Chi above “Ch”, as Chi modern transcription/transliteration is “ch”.
- Omicron is move above “v”, as “v” is sometimes procounced “o”.
- Final sigma is move above “c” for its similar form and close position
to σ and Σ.

symbols/pc: Make "Alt and Meta are on Alt" disabled by default
The "Alt and Meta are on Alt" option is enabled by default very likely
due to the historical reasons. There used to be keyboards that had no
Windows or Super keys in the 90s, for example IBM Model M [1], so
providing some fallback seems reasonable. It seems there used to be
different ways to handle the lack of Super keys, e.g. using Escape or Alt
key.
According to [2], the Windows key made its first appearance in year 1994
and, with Windows 95, any keyboard with the "Designed for Windows" logo
had to have this key, which greatly contributed to making the Super key
widespread, it's hard to find a keyboard that has no Windows or Super key
nowadays.
From the desktop environment point of view, for the most optimal
experience, the user needs to have a keyboard with a real Super key (or a
spare key remapped to Super) because the desktop environments tend to
register global shortcuts containing Super key (with or without Shift
key).
The `altwin:meta_alt` option has been enabled for more than 20 years, but
it seems like users have started hitting its effects directly after
Plasma introduced the ability to configure global shortcuts that contain
only modifiers. Based on the empirical data that we (KDE developers) have
collected through various user forums and our bug tracker [3], the
current behavior is unexpected to our users, and it can interfere with
their workflow.
It is also interesting that the `altwin:meta_alt` option is effectively
enabled by default but there is no way to disable it. Perhaps there was
some mixup in 9bbda6bfbcc29a575ea3b5cb7bd2553767e80d53?
Last but not the least, the user expectations evolve as the time passes.
Today, practically all keyboards come with the Super key so users don't
face the problems that one would face 30 or 40 years ago (perhaps except
people who collect antique keyboards? but it is a niche case), so it is
reasonable to adjust the defaults to match the new expectations. The old
behavior can be restored by enabling the `altwin:meta_alt` option.

symbols/inet: mark the F20-F23 mappings as historically special
These were used for mic mute and touchpad toggle keys because their
respective evdev keycodes end up being > 255. Recent evdev and libinput
drivers remap the evdev keycodes to F20-F23 as well so the rest of the
system doesn't have to.
Add a comment so we're not tempted to remove these mappings.

symbols/de: Add German (Noted) layout
Add the newest layout of the German Neo keyboard layout family. Noted is
a layout designed to make typing as comfortable and efficient as
possible in both German and English. It was developed with the help of a
layout optimizer, which is based on the metrics and concepts of
ArneBab's optimizer and adapts and extends them.
I switched from Neo 2 via Mine to Noted and I like to see this variant
to be available out of the box in Debian/Ubuntu.

Update German keyboard according to DIN standard
In the August 2023 revision of the DIN 2137-1 standard,
some changes to the keyboard layers were made.
Most importantly, the third layer of the w, t, and i
keys was switched around. That was already accounted for
in a previous commit.
The other changes were all in "group 2" of the keyboard.
Those changes are included in this commit.
A summary of the changes in the standard is freely available at
<https://www.dinmedia.de/de/norm/din-2137-1/353663175>, in German,
under "Änderungsvermerk". Relevant for this commit are points f),
g), h), and i).

apl(level3): Do not set group name
This is a partial layout that is meant to augment an existing layout.
The group name should not be set in `apl(level3)`, otherwise it would
override the original layout name.

meson: Add option to create non-Latin layouts list
New option `non-latin-layouts-list` (off by default), to produce 2 CSV
files (one per main rules set):
- `non-latin-layouts-base.csv`
- `non-latin-layouts-evdev.csv`
These files are needed by e.g. the Debian installer to automatically
add a US layout in case the selected layout cannot output required
Latin characters.
Activate this option in our CI.

Add script to extract list of (non-)Latin layouts
This produces a CSV file with (non-)Latin layouts by analyzing all the
keysyms of each layout and check for required ones. This is more reliable
than checking the language tags of layouts, because a language may have
multiple scripts and the language tags may be incorrect or incomplete.
Method:
1. Get layouts via `xkbregistry`.
2. For each layout, check if it has all the basic Latin letters.
3. Export the filtered layouts as CSV.
Note that some layouts are “almost” Latin as they miss only a few
letters. Such layouts are considered non-Latin but raise a warning.
