tools: Enable custom keymap with interactive-{x11,wayland}
Added the `--keymap` option to enable providing the keymap to use
instead of the one from the display server. Implies `--local-state`.
Note that the other RMLVO options do not need to be implemented, since
one can simply pipe a keymap from `xkbcli compile-keymap`.
The `--keymap` option is also useful for users that do not have the
input permissions to access evdev API.
