state: Add server API for updating latched and locked mods & layout Up to now, the “server state” `xkb_state` API only offered one entry point to update the server state – `xkb_state_update_key`, which reflects the direct keyboard keys state. But some updates come out-of-band from keyboard input events stream, for example, a GUI layout switcher. The X11 XKB protocol has a request which allows for such updates, `XkbLatchLockState`[^1], but xkbcommon does not have similar functionality. So server applications ended up using `xkb_state_update_state` for this, but that’s a function intended for client applications, not servers. Add support for updating the latched & locked state of the mods and layout. Note that the depressed states cannot be updated in this way -- XKB does not expect them to be updated out of band.
