WIP: state: add API for updating latched and locked mods & layout in …

…server state

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`[0], 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.
