Added two compatibility options related to Hyper:
- hyper:mod3: maps the virtual modifier Hyper to Mod3; conflicts with LevelFive. Loaded by default when using any option with Hyper.
- hyper:mod4: maps the virtual modifier Hyper to Mod3; conflicts with Super. Use this option if using both Hyper and LevelFive, e.g. for layouts with 5+ levels.

shift:breaks_caps: Fix missing Shift_{L,R} keysyms that prevented keyboard shortcuts to work correctly in some setups.

Added KEY_ZENKAKUHANKAKU mapping for touchpad toggle.

Pressing the touchpad toggle key on some notebooks produces the key sequence Super + Control + KEY_ZENKAKUHANKAKU. Actual Japanese Hankaku/Zenkaku keys however do not use this keycode, but the one instead.

The default mapping of the virtual modifier Hyper to Mod3 is now deactivated by default, because it conflicts with LevelFive, which is used in various layouts with 5+ levels.

It is now enabled only when using any option binding Hyper keysyms or when using the new option hyper:mod3. However, if one one want to use LevelFive and Hyper simultaneously (e.g. for layouts with 5+ levels), then the new alternative option hyper:mod4 should be used instead.
