[Spice-devel] [PATCH spice-protocol v3] vdagent: add keyboard description message

[Pavel Grunt]

The goal of this message is to make the guest use the same keyboard
layout as the client. In other words to remove the necessity to manually
configure the keyboard layout on the guest.

We can achieve this functionality by informing the agent about
the keyboard layout used by the client. The agent then tries to set
the appropriate keyboard layout on the guest side.

The message is represented by a xkb symbols string (e.g. "pc+us",
basically it contains an abbreviation of the country name
and some other options). Linux agent can use this string directly,
windows agent has to find a keyboard layout for the specified country name.
