Gnome Virtual keyboard should be disabled on Microsoft Surface 3 Go laptop when physical keyboard is connected #692

Microsoft Surface 3 Go laptop has a detachable keyboard. Based on user feedback the virtual/on-screen keyboard should always be disabled when the real keyboard is connected. Virtual keyboard should only appear on the tablet mode when the keyboard is detached.

Some ideas:

I came up with simpler and more generic logic in #707 : simply disable screen keyboard when a real keyboard is available and vice versa.

Tested on Surface 3 Go.

This was included to the latest/current production images, but for some reason it did not seem to work. Maybe there still is something wrong (or a typical user error by me).
