New standard French AZERTY layout

Cimbali requested to merge Cimbali/xkeyboard-config:master into master

The French agency for normalization (AFNOR) has (finally?) come up with a standardized AZERTY layout, after a couple of years of research. References and related work can be found here (in French): http://norme-azerty.fr/ and there are also a couple of press releases in English:

This merge request adds the new layout to the list of French layouts.

A couple of remarks:

  • I have named the layout afnor. It is the only one to be normalized so this should be fine, however if someone has a better or more mnemonic name, I welcome any suggestion.
  • A dead key is proposed for "European symbols" (ªəƏþÞıݺſðÐƞȠijIJ), which does not exist in xkb as far as I can tell. This key is thus still missing from the proposed keyboard layout. Should I propose a new dead key (similarly to the greek dead key, also in use in this keyboard)? Or is there another preferred way to go about this?
