Alexander Melnyk a9ee6b7326 xkb: Fix locked/latched indicator desync across multiple keyboards
When a group indicator (or a latched indicator of any kind) is defined,
e.g.:
  indicator "Scroll Lock" { groups = Group2; }
the logical and physical indicator state may desync across multiple
connected keyboards.

This is caused by XkbPushLockedStateToSlaves only pushing locked_mods to
the slave devices. Pushing locked_group (as well as latched groups/mods)
along with locked_mods resolves the issue.

The issue is not observed with API calls because a different code path
is taken (avoiding XkbPushLockedStateToSlaves altogether).

The X server uses this directory to store the compiled version of the
current keymap and/or any scratch keymaps used by clients.  The X server
or some other tool might destroy or replace the files in this directory,
so it is not a safe place to store compiled keymaps for long periods of
time.  The default keymap for any server is usually stored in:
     X<num>-default.xkm
where <num> is the display number of the server in question, which makes
it possible for several servers *on the same host* to share the same
directory.

Unless the X server is modified, sharing this directory between servers on
different hosts could cause problems.
