xorg.conf.d/90-zap.conf destroys xorg keyboard settings

Bug description:
With Ubuntu MATE 16.04, I'm unable to switch between keyboard layouts
properly.
My locale is LANG=el_GR.UTF-8 and LANGUAGE=el.
The Ubuntu MATE installer correctly made those settings for me:
$ grep -i xkboptions /etc/default/keyboard
XKBOPTIONS="grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"
I.e. I should be able to switch between the US and the Greek keyboard
layout using Alt+Shift, and the keyboard scroll led indicates the
active language.
Unfortunately ubuntu-mate-default-settings overrides the correct
settings, making me unable to switch languages via Alt+Shift:
$ grep -i xkboptions /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-zap.conf
Option "XKbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp,grp"
So, please make sure that 90-zap.conf *adds* "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp,grp" to
the current xkboptions, instead of *replacing* them.
If it's unable to add instead of replacing settings, then please completely
remove 90-zap.conf.
[Impact]
* Ubuntu MATE included the ability to kill the X server using
Ctrl+Alt+BkSpc over a year ago while the initial Compiz integration
was being added. That facility is a hangover and no longer required.
* This updated version of Ubuntu MATE Settings removes
usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-zap.conf and restores the ability to
switch keyboard layouts using Alt+Shift.
[Test Cases]
* Install Ubuntu MATE 16.04 using Greek language and locale and US
language. You will be unable to switch between the US and the Greek
keyboard layout using Alt+Shift.
* Once Ubuntu MATE Settings 16.04.5.1 is installed it will be
possible to switch between keyboard layouts using Alt+Shift.
[Regression Potential]
* The ability to kill the X session using Ctrl+Alt+BkSpc will be
lost. But none of the other Ubuntu flavours support this functionality
and it's removal restore the default Xorg behaviour.
