Made key type KEYPAD independent of Shift, so that Shift can be used in keyboard shortcuts with numpad keys, with and without NumLock.

This removes the counter-intuitive behavior of Shift + NumLock mapping to the arrow/edition keys on the numpad.
numpad key types: Changed FOUR_LEVEL_KEYPAD and FOUR_LEVEL_MIXED_KEYPAD so that they are identical and enable to use Shift in keyboard shortcuts with both arrows/edition keys and numbers:
- Shift maps to level 1, usually corresponding to numpad KP_* arrows/editing keysyms variants);
- Shift is preserved.
- No “Shift cancels NumLock” behavior.
All numpad key types have now the same consistent behavior with Shift and NumLock.

Fixed key types missing or erroneous map and preserve entries:
- extra: FOUR_LEVEL_X
- numpad(shift3): FOUR_LEVEL_MIXED_KEYPAD
- pc: PC_SHIFT_SUPER_LEVEL2 and CTRL+ALT
