The current functions dealing with consumed modifiers use the
traditional XKB definition of consumed modifiers (see description in the
added documentation). However, for several users of the library (e.g.
GTK) this definition is unsuitable or too eager. This is exacerbated by
some less-than-ideal xkeyboard-config type definitions (CTRL+ALT seems
to cause most grief...).
So, because we
- want to enable alternative interpretations, but
- don't want to expose too much internal details, and
- want to keep things simple for all library users,
we add a high-level "mode" parameter which selects the desired
interpretation. New ones can be added as long as they make some sense.
All of the old consumed-modifiers functions keep using the traditional
("XKB") mode. I mark xkb_state_mod_mask_remove_consumed() and as
deprecated without adding a *2 variant because I don't it is very useful
(or used) in practice.
Alternative modes are added in subsequent commits (this commit only adds
a mode for the existing behavior).

Takes care of GCC's annoyingly persistent warn_unused_result warnings.

The current calculation is in short:
entry ? (entry->mask & ~entry->preserve) : 0
This changes it be
type->mask & ~(entry ? entry->preserve : 0)
This is what Xlib does. While less intuitive, it is actually more
correct, if you follow this deduction:
- The key group's type->mask defines which modifiers the key even cares
about. The others are completely irrelevant (and in fact they are
masked out from all sided in the level calculation). Example: NumLock
for an alphabetic key.
- The type->mask, the mods which are not masked out, are *all* relevant
(and in fact in the level calculation they must match *exactly* to the
state). These mods affect which level is chosen for the key, whether
they are active or not.
- Because the type->mask mods are all relevant, they must be considered
as consumed by the calculation *even if they are not active*.
Therefore we use type->mask instead of entry->mask.
The second change is what happens when no entry is found: return 0 or
just take preserve to be 0? Let's consider an example, the basic type
type "ALPHABETIC" {
modifiers = Shift+Lock;
map[Shift] = Level2;
map[Lock] = Level2;
level_name[Level1] = "Base";
level_name[Level2] = "Caps";
};
Suppose Shift+Lock is active - it doesn't match any entry, thus it gets
to level 0. The first interpretation would take them both to be
unconsumed, the second (new one) would take them both to be consumed.
This seems much better: Caps is active, and Shift disables it, they both
do something.
This change also fixes a pretty lousy bug (since 0.3.2), where Shift
appears to apparently *not* disable Caps. What actually happens is that
Caps is not consumed (see above) but active, thus the implicit
capitalization in get_one_sym() kicks in and capitalizes it anyway.

These functions generally have the same effect as
xkb_state_key_get_syms() + xkb_keysym_to_utf{8,32}().
So why add them?
- They provide a slightly nicer interface, especially if the string is
the only interest.
- It makes the handling of multiple-keysyms-to-utf8 transparent. For the
designated use-case of multiple-keysyms (unicode combining
characters), this is a must. We also validate the UTF-8, which the
user might not otherwise do.
- We will need to apply some transformation on the resulting string
which depend on the xkb_state. This is not possible with the
xkb_keysym_* functions.
With these functions, the existing xkb_keysym_to_utf{8,32}() are not
expected to be used by a typical user; they are "raw" functions.

PATH_MAX is optional in POSIX, so avoid its unconditional usage
allocating and freeing buffers as needed.
To avoid too many malloc/free in the for loop in FindFileInXkbPath,
a buffer is grown according to the size needed at each iteration.
The current API doesn't allow the caller to create keymaps from mmap()'ed
files. The problem is, xkb_keymap_new_from_string() requires a terminating
0 byte. However, there is no way to guarantee that when using mmap() so a
user currently has to copy the whole file just to get the terminating zero
byte (assuming they cannot use xkb_keymap_new_from_file()).
This adds a new entry xkb_keymap_new_from_buffer() which takes a memory
location and the buffer size in bytes.
Internally, we depend on yy_scan_{string,byte}() helpers. According to
flex documentation these already copy the input string because they are
wrappers around yy_scan_buffer().
yy_scan_buffer() on the other hand has some insane requirements. The
buffer must be writeable and the last two bytes must be ASCII-NUL. But the
buffer may contain other 0 bytes just fine.
Because we don't want these constraints in our public API,
xkb_keymap_new_from_buffer() needs to create a copy of the input memory.
But it then calls yy_scan_buffer() directly. Hence, we have the same
number of buffer-copies as with *_from_string() but without the
terminating 0 requirement.
The explicit yy_scan_buffer() call is preferred over yy_scan_byte() so the
buffer-copy operation is not hidden somewhere in flex.
Maybe some day we no longer depend on flex and can have a zero-copy API. A
user could mmap() a file and it would get parsed right from this buffer.
But until then, we shouldn't expose this limitation in the API but instead
provide an API that some day can work with zero-copy.

Now that we don't use syslog, "level" does sound more commonplace. We
should change it while there is still nobody using it.
Also leave some space between the integers of the xkb_log_level enum
