[kbd] While we're on norwegian keymaps: prefer qwerty keymap

Hi!

Both the dvorak and qwerty norwegian maps are in files named "no.map".
In NixOS, this clash yields me the dvorak map instead of the qwerty one
when I specify a "no" keymap. I can tell you that makes supplying a very long password for decrypting har drives very interesting for a poor qwerty keyboard user! :)

I suspect most distros just quietly rename the dvorak/no.map file to
keep it from causing problems. Perhaps the problematic keymap could be
renamed here, at the source, instead?

Attached is a trivial patch against master.

Subject: [PATCH] Renamed dvorak/no keymap to avoid shadowing qwerty/no.

Renamed data/keymaps/i386/dvorak/no.map to keep it from being loaded
when the user wants the "no" (qwerty) keymap. Added a "dvorak-"
prefix, making it similar to the other dvorak keymaps.

Why you can not just load "dvorak/no" keymap ?

I'm sorry; I didn't explain very well, so I think you got it backwards.

Almost all Norwegian users use a qwerty layout, and would hence expect
a simple "no" to load a qwerty layout. Instead, it yields a dvorak
layout. It's just a weird default. Renaming the dvorak/no.map to
dvorak/dvorak-no.map achieves two things:

  1. The default "no" map becomes qwerty.

  2. The Norwegian dvorak map has a name that is consistent with all
the other dvorak/*.map files. Right now, the Norwegian map is the only
one without a "dvorak-" prefix.

Oh I see. Applied.
