Not to be confused with KEY_ASSISTANT which is for Siri/Cortana/...,
this one is the Copilot key.
Unfortunately Microsoft requires that the Copilot key sends
Win+Shift+F23 so this is merely a placeholder for now. Eventually we
may see hardware that actually sends a custom key code for this.

Note: this is really just an RFC, happy to change the name (which is not
great given we have KEY_ASSISTANT already), the value, anything. The
purpose of this patch is simply to scope if this is something worth
pursuing.
As above, because of the MS specs I don't see any (MS-compatible) HW
sending that particular key in the immediate future. But since userspace
is expected to implement the functionality via the Win+Shift+F23 we'll
need a new keysym for this in XKB anyway.
If the kernel plans to add a keysym for this we can happily re-use that,
otherwise we'll need to define our own but that means some manual
attention if we do get a kernel keycode later.
Thoughts?
