input: route kbd LEDs through the generic LEDs layer
This permits to reassign keyboard LEDs to something else than keyboard
"leds" state, by adding keyboard led and modifier triggers connected to a
series of VT input LEDs, themselves connected to VT input triggers, which
per-input device LEDs use by default. Userland can thus easily change the
LED behavior of (a priori) all input devices, or of particular input
devices.
This also permits to fix #7063 from userland by using a modifier to
implement proper CapsLock behavior and have the keyboard caps lock led
show that modifier state.
[ebroder@mokafive.com: Rebased to 3.2-rc1 or so, cleaned up some includes, and fixed some constants]
[blogic@openwrt.org: CONFIG_INPUT_LEDS stubs should be static inline]
