66e3f479a6 Follow the keyboard being typed on in the layout widget (#6740 )

* Read the keyboard being typed on rather than the one holding main

The main flag names no keyboard for long. fcitx5 takes it with the
virtual keyboard it binds to inject, and those are filtered out, so on a
seat running an input method the pick lands on nothing at all: no label,
and the widget hides itself off the bar. #6727 keeps polling in that
state rather than settling it, and the poll has nothing new to read.
Once fcitx5 unbinds, the flag lands on whichever device libinput listed
last, as easily a lid switch as a keyboard, and a device that never
receives the toggle reports the layout it started on forever, which is
the reading #6574 opened.

Every device carries the seat's layout list, but only the keyboard being
typed on advances through it, so read the furthest-advanced one.
activelayout names the keyboard it moved ahead of the layout, so take
that name and let it settle the pick, and the click that switches it.

* Leave the buttons out of the seat the widget reads

Reading the keyboard being typed on left keyboardName standing for two
things at once: the device a click switches, and the device activelayout
last named. Only the second was still being set, so the first went empty
until a switch happened -- which left the click doing nothing on a seat
whose only switch is the click, and left the poll running forever on the
one-keyboard install it was written to leave alone. Give each its own
property, and set the switch target from the reading that confirmed the
keyboard is there.

Layout progress only points at the keyboard being typed on while the
other devices stay where they started, and the ACPI power button, lid
switch and sleep key never do move on their own -- but they answer to
switchxkblayout and can hold the main flag, so anything that reads or
switches whatever the seat hands back can end up describing a button, and
unplugging the keyboard beside one leaves it standing in for the seat.
Drop them where the virtual keyboards are already dropped.

A reading that reaches hyprctl and finds no keyboard now clears the label
rather than leaving a device that is gone described on the bar, told
apart from the empty output a killed query leaves by the device list
itself, and the watchdog asks again rather than waiting for a poll that a
settled seat has already stopped.
