[modules/layout] add a new - generic - layout module

Add a new module "layout" that will eventually evolve into the only
keyboard layout module.

Right now, it uses an external binary (get-kbd-layout) to determine the
layout of a keyboard device (because I did not manage to call libX11
with ctypes correctly).
