Subject: [PATCH] keyboard: Add support for full live enviroment keyboard

This adds support to automatically switch the locale for the complete Session, instead of only the calamares window.

It relays on kxkb2locale1, whcich is also used at Fedora for Anaconda to handle the Keyboard Switching. Tested in VM
