 Log Message:
 wskbd(4): Define USB and PS/2 keymaps for KB_PL
 
 This is the de-facto standard "Polish programmers" QWERTY keyboard,
 what X11 simply calls "Polish". It's a simple variation of US QWERTY
 with some extra characters when right alt is pressed.
 
 Defining this layout is slightly optimistic, since even with latin-2
 fonts loaded and the appropriate locale set, wscons seems to struggle
 to input most of these characters.
 
 Regardless, this allows the supposedly supported "pl" encoding
 to not fail loading with an error message, and allows X11 to
 auto-detect the keyboard layout (defining KB_PL and as an alias of
 KB_US also accomplishes this goal), with room for proper UTF-8
 support in the future.
 
 PR port-amd64/57234 "# wsconsctl -k -w encoding=pl" *should* work.
 PR kern/57844 wscons doesn't support encoding=pl contrary to wskbd(4) man page
