Move platform check into modules
Before, loading a module would be guarded by an optional platform
condition. This made it possible to avoid loading and evaluating a
module if it did not support the host platform.

Unfortunately, this made it impossible to share a single configuration
between GNU/Linux and Darwin hosts, which some wish to do.

This removes the conditional load and instead inserts host platform
assertions in the modules that are platform specific.

Fixes #1906

</para>
<para>
The list of key names is found in the header file
<filename>X11/keysymdef.h</filename> (remove the
<literal>XK_</literal> prefix). Note that due to limitations
of X11 shifted keys must be specified as a shift key
followed by the key to be pressed rather than the actual
name of the character. For example to generate "{" the
expression <literal>Shift_L|bracketleft</literal> could be
used (assuming that you have a key with "{" above "[").
</para>
<para>
You can also specify keys in decimal (prefix #), octal (#0),
or hexadecimal (#0x). They will be interpreted as keycodes
unless no corresponding key name is found.
