[bhyve][PATCH] Support QEMU Extended Key Event Message and Append keyboard
layout specified option.

Thank you for telling me and I'm sorry for my lack of research.

With you help, I found that the TigerVNC supports QEMU Extended Key Event
Message, so I immediately tried to create a patch.
As a result, when using TigerVNC, it is possible to support keys unique of =
each
language without depending the keyboard layout setting file or specifying b=
hyve
-k option.
However, I would like to preserve the keyboard layout configuration file and
the bhyve -k option feature to allow use by VNC clients that don't support =
QEMU
Extended Key Event Messages (such as tightVNC).

By the last time, the keyboard layout setting file should have been able to
input alphabets, numbers, symbols, and a part of functional key(e.g.
Enter/Space) in every languages keyboard, so I think that support has advan=
ced
considerably, but what about?


A. How to apply the NEW patch --------------------------------------------
  Same as last time. (See above)

B. Usage -----------------------------------------------------------------
  * VNC clients with supported the QEMU Extended Key Event Mesage (TigerVNC)
      Just use it as before.
      The keyboard layout of each language is automatically supported.
      Even if the -k option is specified, it will be ignored.

  * VNC clients WITHOUT supported the message (tightVNC, ssvnc, etc)
      You need to specify the keyboard layout name by the -k option.
      The method of specify the -k option is same as last time.
      If not specified, the US keyboard layout is assumed to have been
specified.

I apologize for fixing the path many times, but I appreciate your cooperati=
on.
