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.

The "us" keyboard layout contains a mapping for keycode 86 (which
seems not to correspond to any physical key on many US keyboards) to
the ASCII character '<'. This mapping causes conflicts with the
mapping for keycode 51, which also maps (with shift) to '<'.
Change the keyboard mapping generator to choose the lowest keycode for
each ASCII character as indicating the relevant mapping to use, on the
basis that a lower keycode roughly indicates a "more normal" key. On
a German keyboard, which has keys for both keycode 51 and keycode 86
present, this causes '<' to be remapped to ';', which is a closer
match to typical user expectations.

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.
