And drop some more guesswork in the code, since some layouts have
less than 4 levels. This also allows for having OSK maps with more
than 4 levels. Let us hope that the sanity of our future kin will
remain below that threshold.

This optional property defines the offset the a key should have
relative to the previous key (on its left) or the start of the
column if it is the first key. If this property is not
present, the key will be placed with no relative offset.
This for example allows keymaps to explicitly define the padding
of the rows that are not "full" relative to other rows, without
guesswork in the code. It is used for this purpose in the
keymaps/levels/rows that needed it.

The on-screen keyboard only handles a single keyval per key, so the
current upper-case version of the German "ß" ends up as "S" instead
of the expected "SS".
It is possible to change the keyboard code to emulate multiple key
presses/releases for that particular case, but then luckily a proper
upper-case form exists nowadays: "ẞ".
That seems more appropriate for a single key than a dedicated "SS"
key, so replace it in all layouts that include it. Anybody who prefers
the traditional "SS" can easily tap "S" twice.

Make these closer to the mockups, on most locales at least.
Unclear/remaining are:
am, ara, il, in+mal, ir, kg, mk, mn, rs, ru, th, ua
Since the extended OSK keymap is short on space, it coalesced
both keys together (i.e. extending the extra keys popup) so it
takes less room.

Have these defined in the JSON files themselves, instead of trying
to add them from JS while minding the differences in number of levels
and rows.
This means more redundant data in the JSON files, but simplifies
OSK layout creation significantly, and allows finer control over the
appearance without quirks.
As a result, importing data from CLDR is no longer as straightforward
as running an script. After initial import, manual editions will be
required to add missing keys, assign key widths, and so on.
