Add an "Above_Tab" pseudo-keysym

Browse Source 
We want switching between the windows of an application to be an easily
accessible operation. The convenient and memorable keybinding is the
key above the tab key - but the keysym for that key isn't consistent
across different keyboard layouts.

Add code that figures out the key from the XKB geometry and a magic
keysym name "Above_Tab" that refers to this key and switch
the default binding for cycle_group to <Alt>Above_Tab. (This will
have no effect for the normal case of getting the key binding from
GConf until this patch is applied to Metacity as well.)

/* The standard cycle-windows keybinding should be the key above the
* tab key. This will have a different keysym on different keyboards -
* it's the ` (grave) key on US keyboards but something else on many
* other national layouts. So we need to figure out the keycode for
* this key without reference to key symbol.
*
* The "correct" way to do this is to get the XKB geometry from the
* X server, find the Tab key, find the key above the Tab key in the
* same section and use the keycode for that key. This is what I
* implemented here, but unfortunately, fetching the geometry is rather
* slow (It could take 20ms or more.)
*
* If you looking for a way to optimize Mutter startup performance:
* On all Linux systems using evdev the key above TAB will have
* keycode 49. (KEY_GRAVE=41 + the 8 code point offset between
* evdev keysyms and X keysyms.) So a configure option
* --with-above-tab-keycode=49 could be added that bypassed this
* code. It wouldn't work right for displaying Mutter remotely
* to a non-Linux X server, but that is pretty rare.
