Subject: [PATCH] term: keymapforce command for lack of at_keyboard

This adds a command named `keymapforce`. Current behaviour is unchanged
until it is run. The use case is people with non-QWERTY keyboards on
computers without support for anything else than `terminal_input
console`. For example, as a Dvorak user on a Microsoft Surface Pro 7,
I would like to enter my encryption key at boot in my preferred layout
using the UEFI touchscreen keyboard in order to log in when encryption
is set up.
This should not be integrated in term code. Never. A much better place is EFI and BIOS console code that has at least partial access to scan codes.
