[Patch] Making the upper row [1, 2, 3…] key bindings keymap-independant

[Tanguy Ortolo]

Hello,

As maybe every french awesome user, I had to redefine the upper row key
bindings, as the french keymap does not have digits directly on it.

I found a way to use keycodes instead of keysyms to define these
bindings.  As keycodes are keymap-independant, this setting should be
convenient to any keymap, and avoid the need of redefining bindings. So
here is the configuration for awesome 3.2.1, if it can be useful.

Regards,
