symbols/ca: fix the key type of the top row in multix, to ignore CapsLock

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

CapsLock should affect only keys with letters (alphabetic characters), not keys with only symbols or digits. In other words: it should not behave like ShiftLock. So the key type for those top thirteen keys should be EIGHT_LEVEL, not EIGHT_LEVEL_SEMIALPHABETIC.

Also looking at the Canadian Multilingual layout in Windows [1][2], it is clear that the digits row should not be affected by CapsLock.

Problem existed since the CSA layout was added in commit 075eed02, eighteen years ago. It could have been fixed last year, by commit 16b9510f, which fixed the key type for AB08 and AB09, but... it escaped me.

This fixes issue #369 (closed).
