Default to Mac keyboard layout on Mac hardware

Originally created by Tails on #5722 (Redmine)

Tails on a Mac defaults to a PC keyboard configuration. It is presumably not hard to detect the hardware is made by Apple and make a Mac keyboard layout the default one:

  • the default layout in the Greeter should English for Mac
  • when I type “fr” to have French keyboard, the Greeter filters all non-French layouts, and then when I type ENTER the French layout for Mac should be selected; similarly, if I don’t use the keyboard but click “Dutch”, I sholud get the Dutch for Mac layout
