Keyboard: check translated keysyms for mappings

If our current approch without xkbcommon translation does not match any
mapping on a key event attempt to match the translated keysym as well.

This makes e.g. the keypad number keys (e.g. KP_1) work intuitively as
they may require translation with numlock active.

The reason we stopped doing this in I7c02ebcbc was due to layout where
e.g. Super+Shift+Space is translated as Space with the Shift modifier
consumed, thereby conflicting with a separate mapping for Super+Space.
This should not be a issue anymore though as we now only run a maximum
of one mapping per key event and we attemt to match mappings without
xkbcommon translation before attempting with translation.
