LDML keyboard mappings for XKB layouts.

## Background

Unicode's [Common Locale Data Repository](http://cldr.unicode.org/) (CLDR) collects locale data for all countries and languages, including [keyboard layouts in LDML format](https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/tree/master/keyboards). In particular, there are some [useful charts](https://unicode-org.github.io/cldr-staging/charts/latest/keyboards/layouts/en). These cover Windows, Mac, Android and Chrome OS layouts, but are missing Linux layouts.

## Results

I generated LDML and charts for Linux from [xkeyboard-config](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xkeyboard-config/xkeyboard-config)

(commit [297bb515](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xkeyboard-config/xkeyboard-config/-/commit/297bb51556bf72c26acc26b411cfab8116376d6e)):
