:Type: Live Environment
:Summary: Use keyboard layout configuration from the Live system

:Description:
Until now Anaconda, it was required to specify keyboard layout for the Live environment.
With this change, live system itself is responsible for the keyboard configuration and
Anaconda just reading the configuration from the live system for the installed system.

This works only if it is not specified by user and only Gnome Shell environment is
supported so far. Spins should be added later.

This is proper fix for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2016613 where we found
that Wayland don't allow Anaconda to control keyboard configuration. The original fix
separated installation and current environment which is wrong because user can type
passwords with other keyboard layout than what will be installed. This solution will leave
the control on the system itself and just reads the configuration.
It is also a big step to resolve https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1955025 .
