Javascript keyboard mapping on non evdev X11 systems

[abszero]

I noticed that the some key mappings in javascript were wrong for NetBSD under Firefox, Palemoon and most browsers (but interestingly not librewolf)

The easiest way to confirm the issue would be to go to https://keyjs.dev/ while running Palemoon on NetBSD and see "odd" e.code values for the arrow keys.

I mainly noticed as it broke the arrow keys in the web UI of proxmox and ESXi on Firefox (which made setting adjusting VM BIOS settings impossible)

More details in a thread on a NetBSD list https://mail-index.netbsd.org/current-u ... 47199.html

It looks like the X11 key mappings are set for evdev systems (Linux & FreeBSD)

I've run up a patch which I'm running locally in palemoon which should only affect NetBSD builds (attached). I suspect OpenBSD may be affected, but I don't have a system easily to hand to test (and running remotely from a VM to a different OS does not show the issue)

Patch originally against 39.0.1, but just retested against 34

What do people think?

New codes mosly match x11 branch. Maybe it's better to only override different lines?
And how it work on non-x11 linux systems?
I have not implemented e.code/e.key for SDL, but existing macro include does not look very useful for it

keyjs.dev caused this bug in my debug build:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1159285
And same time it does not reproduce on different profile.
