xkeyboard-config: update to 2.47.
# Layouts
## New
- Added the Slavistic Phonetic Alphabet variant for Polish
# Miscellaneous
## Breaking changes
- Made <ZEHA> behave like <FK24>
On Linux Kernel before v6.17, the scancode for F24 was bound to the otherwise
unused <ZEHA> keycode. v6.17 fixed this. To have a consistent behaviour \
across
kernel versions, make both <ZEHA> and <FK24> behave the same.
## New
- Added keycodes from recent Linux kernels:
- `<I455>` for `KEY_LINK_PHONE`
- `<I709>` for `KEY_PERFORMANCE`
- inet: Added mapping to the following new keysyms:
- `XF86LinkPhone`
- `XF86Fn_F1`
- `XF86Fn_F2`
- `XF86Fn_F3`
- `XF86Fn_F4`
- `XF86Fn_F5`
- `XF86Fn_F6`
- `XF86Fn_F7`
- `XF86Fn_F8`
- `XF86Fn_F9`
- `XF86Fn_F10`
- `XF86Fn_F11`
- `XF86Fn_F12`
- `XF86Fn_1`
- `XF86Fn_2`
- `XF86Fn_D`
- `XF86Fn_E`
- `XF86Fn_F`
- `XF86Fn_S`
- `XF86Fn_B`
- `XF86PerformanceMode`
- `XF86AudioBassBoost`

- inet: Mapped `F19` for the rare occasion that it exists e.g. on custom keyboards.
- inet: Mapped `F24`, which has a special alternative function as pressing the
touchpad toggle key on some notebooks produces the key sequence `Super + \
Control + F24`.

Contributed by Alex Dowson
\
([!838](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xkeyboard-config/xkeyboard-config/-/merge_requests/838))

# Options
## New
- Added `hyper:mod2` compatibility option, to maps the virtual modifier `Hyper`
to `Mod2`; *conflicts with `NumLock`*.
Use this option if using `Hyper`, `Super` *and* `LevelFive`, e.g. for layouts

enable the numpad.
## Fixes
- Fixed `shift:break_caps` resulting in rEVERSE cAPS if some keys were operated
simultaneously with the `Shift` keys when trying to unlock `Caps`.

## Fixes
- Fixed `CTRL+ALT` incomplete key type, which prevented using some key combinations:
e.g. `Control+Backspace`.
# Build system
## Breaking changes
- Remove the build option `xkb-base`, which was ineffectual since the migration
from autotools to meson in xkeyboard-config 2.35, published 3 years ago.

Contributed by satricus
\
([!761](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xkeyboard-config/xkeyboard-config/-/merge_requests/761))
- French (AZERTY, AFNOR): Implemented the “European character” dead key on \
`AltGr+H`,
as documented at the [offical web page](https://norme-azerty.fr/img/EU_level.png).
Also fixed the missing upper Theta Θ on `Q`.
- `ru(typo)`: Added bar symbol on the `<BKSL>` key.
Contributed by Boolat Kamalov
\
([!814](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xkeyboard-config/xkeyboard-config/-/merge_requests/814))

\
([#490](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xkeyboard-config/xkeyboard-config/-/issues/490))
- Japanese layouts: Fix Eisu toggle triggering CapsLock when the layout is not in
the first position. \
([#512](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xkeyboard-config/xkeyboard-config/-/issues/512))

Contributed by Ragnar Kruse
\
([!815](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xkeyboard-config/xkeyboard-config/-/merge_requests/815))
## Options
### New
- Added two compatibility options related to `Hyper`:
- `hyper:mod3`: maps the virtual modifier `Hyper` to `Mod3`; *conflicts with \
`LevelFive`*.
Loaded by default when using any option with `Hyper`.
- `hyper:mod4`: maps the virtual modifier `Hyper` to `Mod3`; *conflicts with \
`Super`*.
Use this option if using both `Hyper` *and* `LevelFive`, e.g. for layouts \
with 5+ levels.
### Fixes
- `shift:breaks_caps`: Fix missing `Shift_{L,R}` keysyms that prevented
keyboard shortcuts to work correctly in some setups.
## Miscellaneous
### Breaking changes
- Added `KEY_ZENKAKUHANKAKU` mapping for touchpad toggle.
Pressing the touchpad toggle key on some notebooks produces the key sequence
`Super + Control + KEY_ZENKAKUHANKAKU`. Actual Japanese Hankaku/Zenkaku keys
however do not use this keycode, but the <TLDE> one instead.
Contributed by Werner Sembach
\
([!810](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xkeyboard-config/xkeyboard-config/-/merge_requests/810))
- The default mapping of the virtual modifier `Hyper` to `Mod3` is now deactivated
by default, because it conflicts with `LevelFive`, which is used in various layouts
with 5+ levels.
It is now enabled only when using any option binding `Hyper` keysyms or when
using the new option `hyper:mod3`. However, if one one want to use `LevelFive`
and `Hyper` simultaneously (e.g. for layouts with 5+ levels), then the new
alternative option `hyper:mod4` should be used instead.
## Build system
### Breaking changes
- Switched to versioned install directories and files, to enable installing
multiple versions of xkeyboard-config to be installed in parallel.
- Moved the keyboard keymap data to a namespace dedicated to xkeyboard-config:
`<prefix>/<datadir>/xkeyboard-config-2`.
- Created symbolic link to maintain backward-compatibility with the X11 namespace:
`<prefix>/<datadir>/X11/xkb` → \
`<prefix>/<datadir>/xkeyboard-config-2`.
- Renamed `pkg-config`, translation and manual files to include a version:
- `<prefix>/<datadir>/pkgconfig/xkeyboard-config-2.pc`
- `<prefix>/<mandir>/man7/xkeyboard-config-2.7`
- `<prefix>/<localedir>/**/xkeyboard-config-2.mo`
- Created unversioned symbolic links to the previous files for \
backward-compatibility:
- `<prefix>/<datadir>/pkgconfig/`: `xkeyboard-config.pc` → \
`xkeyboard-config-2.pc`
- `<prefix>/<mandir>/man7/`: `xkeyboard-config.7` → \
`xkeyboard-config-2.7`
- `<prefix>/<localedir>/**/`: `xkeyboard-config.mo` → \
`xkeyboard-config-2.mo`

modifiers. \
([#440](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xkeyboard-config/xkeyboard-config/-/issues/440))

## Build system
### New
- Add a new build option `non-latin-layouts-list` to generate lists of
non-Latin layouts, e.g. layouts that cannot produce the basic A-Z Latin
letters. This can be used e.g. in an OS installer to add automatically
a default layout in such case. \
([#120](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xkeyboard-config/xkeyboard-config/-/issues/120))
### Fixes
