Use the official xkb name for Arabic layout, not the legacy synonym

[Tverous]

The official xkb designation for the Arabic keyboard layout is 'ara'. For the past 15 years or more, xkb has also allowed its identification through the legacy alias 'ar'. In xkeyboard-config 2.39, this alias was eliminated, causing a compilation issue for QEMU:

FAILED: pc-bios/keymaps/ar 
/home/tverous/femu/build-femu/qemu-keymap -f pc-bios/keymaps/ar -l ar

Thanks for catching this. ara is indeed the official xkb name and ar the legacy synonym.

The same change is already in master — it came in with the QEMU 9.0 rebase (25a24d4b8), a few months after you opened this, so the PR itself never got applied. Sorry it sat here that long.

Thanks — correct diagnosis, and the same fix is now on master.

pc-bios/keymaps/meson.build carries 'ar': '-l ara'; it came in with the QEMU 10.1.0 rebase (eafddfd), which picked up the upstream change for the xkeyboard-config 2.39 alias removal. Builds on current distributions no longer fail on the ar keymap.

Closing as already applied — sorry this stayed open until the rebase overtook it.
