Xkb required every keymap to have at least the four following canonical
types: ONE_LEVEL, TWO_LEVEL, ALPHABETIC, KEYPAD. This is specified in
e.g. the kbproto spec and XkbKeyTypesForCoreSymbols(3) man page.
If these types are not specified in the keymap, the code specifically
checks for them and adds them to the 4 first places in the types array,
such that they exist in every keymap. These are also the types (along
with some non-required 4-level ones) that are automatically assigned to
keys which do not explicitly declare a type (see FindAutomaticType in
symbols.c, this commit doesn't touch these heuristics, whcih are also not
very nice but necessary).
The xkeyboard-config does not rely on the builtin xkbcomp definitions of
these types and does specify them explicitly, in types/basic and
types/numpad, which are virtually always included.
This commit removes the special behavior:
- The code is ugly and makes keytypes.c harder to read.
- The code practically never gets run - everyone who uses
xkeyboard-config or a keymap based upon it (i.e. everyone) doesn't need
it. So it doesn't get tested.
- It mixes policy with implementation for not very good reasons, it
seems mostly for default compatibility with X11 core.
- And of course we don't need to remain compatible with Xkb ABI neither.
Instead, if we read a keymap with no types specified at all, we simply
assign all keys a default one-level type (like ONE_LEVEL), and issue
plenty of warnings to make it clear (with verbosity >= 3). Note that
this default can actually be changed from within the keymap, by writing
something like
type.modifier = Shift
type.whatever_field = value
in the top level of the xkb_types section. (This functionality is
completely unused as well today, BTW, but makes some sense).
This change means that if someone writes a keymap from scratch and
doesn't add say ALPHABETIC, then something like <AE11> = { [ q Q ]; }; will
ignore the second level. But as stated above this should never happen.

.uncrustify.cfg committed for future reference also, but had to manually
fix up a few things: it really likes justifying struct initialisers.

Including creating a context (will come in useful soon), opening and
reading files, and compiling keymaps.

i.e. xkb_map_new_from_file. The reason is that flex only works with
FILE's, so we must use fdopen on the file descriptor; but to avoid a
memory leak, we must also fclose() it, which, in turn, closes the file
descriptor itself.
Either way is not acceptable, so we can either:
* dup() the fd and use fdopen on that, or
* have the user call fdopen on his own, and accept a FILE* instead of an
fd.
The second one seems better, and is standard C, so why not. We must add
stdio.h to xkbcommon.h though, which is regrettable, but not a big deal.

Still keep things as 'ctx' internally so we don't have to worry about
typing it too often, but rename the user-visible API back as it was
kinda ugly.
This partially reverts e7bb1e5f.

(This breaks the API.)
"context" is really annoying to type all the time (and we're going to
type it a lot more :). "ctx" is clear, concise and common in many other
libraries. Use it!

[daniels: Fix for xkb -> keymap change.]
Rewrite all of the current tests in the following ways:
- Instead of the current mix of C and shell, just use single-process
pure C file per test. All of the .sh files are removed, but everything
that was tested is ported.
- Instead of handling the test logs ourselves, use Automake's
"parallel-test" mechanism. This will create a single log file for each
test with it's stdout+stderr, and a top level "test-suite.log" file
for all the failed tests.
- The "parallel-tests" directive also makes the test run in parallel,
so "make check" runs faster.
- Also use the "color-tests" directive to have the "make check" output
colorized. Who doesn't like to see PASS in green?
- All of the test data files are moved into the test/data subdirectory.
That way we can just put the directory in EXTRA_DIST and forget about
it.
- The test/Makefile.am file is consolidated into the main Makefile.am,
for a completely non-recursive build.
Right now the tests are completely independent and just use simple
assert()'s. More sophistication can be added as needed.
It should also be noted that it's still possible to use shell, python,
etc. if a test wants more flexibility than C can provide, just do as
before.

[daniels: Updated for xkb_keymap changes.]
Since we define our own xkb_atom_t type, it makes sense not to use the
X11/X.h None value. This way we can also remove a lot of X11 includes.

Allow people to plug in an external atom database (e.g. the X server's),
so we don't have to migrate our own atoms over later. We are a bit
over-keen on atoms at the moment, so it does pollute the atom database a
bit though.
