keyboardlayouts.cpp: Many characters are missing, at least in German layout.

[JacekRuzyczka]

I checked the keyboard layout file keyboardlayouts.cpp against the German KB layout I've got on my PC and found out that quite a bunch of characters are missing although they appear on Codepage 1252: KB Germany Linux

I've added the missing characters to the corresponding files, but unfortunately, I can't add whole C++ files to this issue:

    { VK_SPACE,       { 0, 0, 1, 0 }, VK_NBSP },            // ALT " "   = NBSP

And here is a portion of the codepages.cpp file, which has to be inserted:

  { VK_UPPER_1,      0xb9 },    // ¹

  { VK_RIGHTINVSINQUOTE, 0x91 },    // ‘
  { VK_LEFTSINQUOTE,     0x82 },    // ‚

At last, I had to amend fabutils.h:

After testing with the KeyboardVirtualKeys sketch, I found out that [Shift] + {ä|ö|ü} does NOT return the corresponding uppercase letters (Ä, Ö, Ü), so that these three lines of code must also be added:

{ VK_UMLAUT_a,    { 0, 0, 0, 1 }, VK_UMLAUT_A },       // SHIFT "ä"   = "Ä"
{ VK_UMLAUT_o,    { 0, 0, 0, 1 }, VK_UMLAUT_O },       // SHIFT "ö"   = "Ö"
{ VK_UMLAUT_u,    { 0, 0, 0, 1 }, VK_UMLAUT_U },       // SHIFT "ü"   = "Ü"
{ VK_UMLAUT_A,    { 0, 0, 0, 1 }, VK_UMLAUT_a },       // SHIFT "Ä"   = "ä"
{ VK_UMLAUT_O,    { 0, 0, 0, 1 }, VK_UMLAUT_o },       // SHIFT "Ö"   = "ö"
{ VK_UMLAUT_U,    { 0, 0, 0, 1 }, VK_UMLAUT_u },       // SHIFT "Ü"   = "ü"
