contrib: add a VT layout indicator driven by keyboard LED locks

Debugging XKB-derived console layouts is awkward once group switching is
implemented through the VT lock bits. dumpkeys shows the loaded tables,
but it does not show which group state is active right now, and probing
by typing sample letters is slow and error-prone.

Add a small proof-of-concept helper that infers the current layout from
the kbd-shiftllock and kbd-shiftrlock LED triggers and displays the
result directly on the active virtual console. The helper auto-detects
usable LED devices, binds the required triggers, and restores their
previous settings on exit.
