Support XK_ISO_Level3_Shift and XK_ISO_Level5_Shift #19

This PR adds support for XK_ISO_Level3_Shift and XK_ISO_Level5_Shift.

The AltGr key is mapped to XK_ISO_Level3_Shift in the default German keyboard layout (and others). The Neo keyboard layout (which is like a German Dvorak) and other layouts derived from it additionally use XK_ISO_Level5_Shift. Adding these might make it possible to fix some keyboard layout related bugs in VS Code, p.e. microsoft/vscode#24043, microsoft/vscode#23991 (at least for Linux).

The property withAltGr now depends on kLevel3KeyModifierMask (instead of kControlKeyModifierMask | kAltKeyModifierMask). This works for both the default German keyboard layout as well as for the Neo layout. Without this PR it doesn't work for Neo (see microsoft/vscode#24043 (comment)).

This PR also considers level 5 in the output. This is only important for layouts that use XK_ISO_Level5_Shift, like Neo.

I have added withLevel3Level5 as sixth property (instead of the expected withShiftLevel5) because the latter seems to have no relevance but the former corresponds layer 6 in the Neo keyboard layout.

Property Layer in Neo
value 1
withShift 2
withAltGr 3
withShiftAltGr 5
withLevel5 4
withLevel3Level5 6
