symbols/in: do not override essential digits with the Rupee sign

Ghost User requested to merge (removed):rupee into master

Commit 45521d61 from seven years ago indiscriminately added the Rupee sign (₹) to the third level of many of the Indian layouts. For most layouts this was not a problem, because they had nothing on the third level of AE04. But for four layouts this overwrote the digit 4 or ४ or ൪ that already was there, thus making those layouts inconsistent: having all the digits except "4".

Strangely, that same commit removed the dollar symbol that was on the fourth level of AE04, which makes it seem that the intent was to add the Rupee sign to the fourth level, not the third. (See https://bugs.freedesktop.org/59157 for the actual rationale.)

Anyway... For the four affected layouts, push the Rupee sign to the fourth level of the "4" key. People who do want the sign on the third level can activate the relevant option.

Fixes #48 (closed).
