actions: Add support for multiple actions per level This makes 1 keysym == 1 action holds also for multiple keysyms per level. The motivation of this new feature are: - Make multiple keysyms per level more intuitive. - Explore how to fix the issue with shortcuts in multi-layout settings (see the xkeyboard-config issue[^1]). The idea is to use e.g.: ```c key <LCTL> { symbols[1] = [ {Control_L, ISO_First_Group } ], actions[1] = [ {SetMods(modifiers=Control), SetGroup(group=-4) } ] }; ``` in order to switch temporarily to a reference layout in order to get the same shortcuts on every layout. When no action is specified, `interpret` statements are used to find an action corresponding for *each* keysym, as expected. For an interpretation matching Any keysym, we may get the same interpretation for multiple keysyms. This may result in unwanted duplicate actions. So set this interpretation only if no previous keysym was matched with this interpret at this level, else set the default interpretation. For now, at most one action of each following categories is allowed per level: - modifier actions: `SetMods`, `LatchMods`, `LockMods`; - group actions: `SetGroup`, `LatchGroup`, `LockGroup`. Some examples: - `SetMods` + `SetGroup`: ok - `SetMods` + `SetMods`: error - `SetMods` + `LockMods`: error - `SetMods` + `LockGroup`: ok [^1]: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xkeyboard-config/xkeyboard-config/-/issues/416
