Release 2.19

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97884

Apparently the Indian keyboard layouts in xkeyboard-config are not
very useful because of limitations in xkb. In xkb, it is not possible
to output several characters when one key is pressed but that seems
sometimes necessary.

For Indian languages, the input methods supplied by ibus-m17n appear
to be more useful, having the xkb keyboard layouts show up as well in
the gnome-control centre confuse the user because of too many useless
choices.

Therefore, Anish Patil suggested to hide these Indian keyboard layouts
in the gnome-control-centre.

The easiest way to hide them is to move them from
/usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.xml to
/usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.extras.xml because gnome-control-centre
does not list the layouts from base.extras.xml.

base.extras.xml seems to be for rarely used layouts, so these Indian
layouts seem to fet better there than in base.xml.

With a newer xkbcomp, a trailing "any" (NoSymbol) in a key definition is
taken to mean "none" (VoidSymbol) when the layout specifies the keytype
explicitly.  Avoid this by not specifying the keytype -- it isn't needed
when an included file has already defined the relevant number of levels.

This fixes https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97336, a bug
for which a partial fix was applied in commit ae052b12

They add nothing and just clutter things up.

Australians use the 'us' layout but add an alias anyway so it's easy to find
in the respective configuration tools.
