Michael Brown e1cedbc0d4 [console] Support AltGr to access ASCII characters via remapping
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.

Michael Brown 871dd236d4 [console] Allow for named keyboard mappings
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.

Michael Brown 1febd879e3 [console] Add keymap generator
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.
