xwayland: Add a -nokeymap option

Olivier Fourdan requested to merge ofourdan/xserver:xwayland-ignore-keymap into master

By default, Xwayland (as any Wayland client) uses the keymap set by the Wayland compositor using the standard Wayland protocol.

There are some specific uses cases where a user would want to let the X11 clients control the keymap. However, the Wayland compositor may (re)send the keymap at any time, overriding whatever change was made using the X11 mechanisms.

Add a new "-nokeymap" option to Xwayland to instruct Xwayland to simply ignore the standard Wayland mechanism to set the keymap, hence leaving the control entirely to the X11 clients.
