    state: Fix modifier and group latch
    
    Prior to this commit, the sequences:
    
    - 1. latch A ↓
      2. latch B ↓
      3. latch B ↑
      4. latch A ↑
    - 1. latch A ↓
      2. latch B ↓
      3. latch A ↑
      4. latch B ↑
    
    would result in only B being latched, because the XKB protocol specifies
    that latches are triggered only if keys are *sequentially* tapped, i.e.
    a strict sequence of press and release of each key.
    
    It seems an unnecessary limitation:
    
    - `SlowKeys` and `XkbAX_TwoKeys` are the proper accessibility features
      to control accidental key presses, not latches nor `StickyKeys`.
    - Latches are also used outside their original accessibility role.
      A user may activate multiple latch keys simultaneously:
      - same hand: two latch keys being close to each other;
      - different hand: two keys being activated independently.
    
    Changed the latching behavior so that the rules used to break a latch
    are the same than those used to prevent it. Depressing and releasing two
    latching keys simultaneously will now activate both latches, as expected.
    
    Since this is a breaking change, it is enabled only by the keymap format
    `XKB_KEYMAP_FORMAT_TEXT_V2`.
