[Feature] Force Numpad to act like a Mac

I'm in the process of making a feature I've been thinking about for a long time: Forced Numpad. (Edit: Renamed to "Mac Numpad").

On a Mac, the numeric keypad is always a numeric keypad, and the Numlock key is "Clear" (Escape key), used for clearing the display of a calculator app. I think you can actually toggle real Numlock on a Mac with Fn+Numlock. I'll use Option+Numlock (physical Super+Numlock, logical Alt+Numlock on a PC keyboard) as a toggle to turn this "Forced Numpad" feature on and off, but we can also support Fn+Numlock for Apple keyboards where Kinto can actually "see" the Fn key.

This maps onto the non-keypad keys for Linux because GTK apps may not interpret the keys as numbers otherwise.

Here is a working version of this for Linux. Will post a Windows/AHK version when I get a chance to put it together, and then combine them into a PR.
