Adding new keysyms

I've been fixing up the keyboard mappings for my MacBook
(https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8068), and they now seem
mostly ok. However, I'm missing useful keysyms for some of the keys on
the keyboard. It has more than one key to manage lcd brightness, and
there are keys to modify the keyboard backlight.

So, I want to propose the new keysyms:
XF86BrightnessUp, XF86BrightnessDown, XF86KeyboardLightOff,
XF86KeyboardLightDown, XF86KeyboardLightUp

These are prefixed with XF86 to match the rest of the custom ones, even
though this is not XFree86 anymore.

What do people think about this?
