feat(developer): emit .kvks and .keyman-touch-layout files and corresponding binaries in kmc 🙀

mcdurdin commented 2 years ago

brain dump from discussion earlier this week.

kmc vs kmldmlc: see #7237

kmldmlc must generate .kvks (#5077) and .keyman-touch-layout (#5078).
could also generate binary .kvk and 'compiled' touch layout JSON?
- ideally kmldmlc generates these too
questions on generating keyboard.js as well!
- ideally kmldmlc generates this as well

Subquestion:

do we include this data in kmxplus?
Would mean separate .kvk file wouldn't be needed, one day in the future.
Would be equivalent to xml data, not an encapsulated .kvk file or .keyman-touch-layout
Would look a lot like LDML layerMaps (with displayMap applied).
Using synthesized vkeys for touch layouts (not ids)

.keyman-touch-layout is 18.0. .kvk is done.
