Ken Sanislo 1952e9ce98 Add regional keyboard layouts (ISO_QWERTY, QWERTZ, AZERTY, JIS) and fix copyright
Read HID++ feature 0x4540 KeyboardLayout to detect the device's country
code, then route the per-key painter to a matching regional layout.

Changes:

- lib/logitech_receiver/hidpp20.py: new get_keyboard_layout() returning the
  HID Usage Table country code from feature 0x4540's first response byte.
- lib/logitech_receiver/device.py: lazy device.keyboard_layout property,
  guarded by feature presence so devices without 0x4540 don't pay a query
  cost on access.
- lib/solaar/ui/perkey/control.py: thread the country code into the editor
  hint dict.
- lib/solaar/ui/perkey/layouts/_keyboard_base.py (new): factor out the
  function row, nav cluster, and numpad block as shared building blocks.
  Two main-block variants (ANSI with row 2 col 13 backslash, ISO without)
  cover all five regions. build_layout() applies per-zone label overrides
  on top of either main block.
- lib/solaar/ui/perkey/layouts/keyboard_ansi.py: refactored to use the
  builder; same LAYOUT_FULL/LAYOUT_TKL exports.
- lib/solaar/ui/perkey/layouts/keyboard_iso_qwerty.py (new): UK English
  ISO. Same shape as DE/FR/JIS but no label overrides.
- lib/solaar/ui/perkey/layouts/keyboard_iso_qwertz.py (new): DE/Swiss --
  Y/Z swap, Ü/Ö/Ä/ß placement.
- lib/solaar/ui/perkey/layouts/keyboard_iso_azerty.py (new): FR -- A↔Q,
  W↔Z, French digit-row symbols, M repositioning.
- lib/solaar/ui/perkey/layouts/keyboard_jis.py (new): JP -- @ / [ / :
  bracket-row relabels.
- lib/solaar/ui/perkey/layouts/__init__.py: country-code-aware matchers,
  five families × two sizes (full/TKL). Defaults to ANSI when 0x4540 is
  unsupported or returns an unknown code.

POUND, ISO_BACKSLASH, and the L-shape Enter top half (zone 46) are
intentionally omitted from the ISO layouts -- same coverage as OpenRGB.
ABNT2 (Brazilian) deferred until a confirmed Logitech BR RGB device shows
up; adding it later is one new layout file plus a country-code entry.

Also fix copyright headers on all new lib/solaar/ui/perkey/ files: the
files were created in 2026, not 2024 as the headers said.

Solaar

Solaar is a Linux manager for many Logitech keyboards, mice, and other devices that connect wirelessly to a Unifying, Bolt, Lightspeed or Nano receiver as well as many Logitech devices that connect via a USB cable or Bluetooth. Solaar is not a device driver and responds only to special messages from devices that are otherwise ignored by the Linux input system.
