This PR adds support for a Thai keyboard. Layout mostly copied from my phone, with difference in diacritics placements: phone has only one key for all of them, while here we have a couple more. Swipe in different directions needed for inputing them.

KOReader 2022.10 "Muhara"

We skipped last month's release because I was right in the middle of moving, which serendipitously coincided with fairly drastic changes that needed more time for testing, such as a big rewrite of gestures and multitouch (koreader#9463).

Users of the Dropbox plugin will now be able to use the new short-lived tokens (koreader#9496).

It's not smart and it requires knowledge of stroke order. A tutorial can be found [here](https://github.com/koreader/koreader/wiki/Chinese-keyboard), part of which I will reproduce below.

<hr>

The stroke input method groups character strokes into five categories. Then any character is typed by its stroke order.
| Key | Stroke type |
| ------ | ------ |
| `一` | Horizontal or rising stroke |
| `丨` | Vertical or vertical with hook |
| `丿` | Falling left |
| `丶` | Dot or falling right |
| `𠃋` | Turning |

For example, to input 大, keys `一丿丶` are used.

Note all turning strokes are input with a single `𠃋` key as long as they are written in one go. So 马 is input with `𠃋𠃋一`.

After getting the intended character, a `分隔`(Separate) or `空格`(Space) key should be used to finish the input. Otherwise, strokes of the next character will be appended to that of the current one thus changing the character.

Besides, the keyboard layout contains a wildcard key `*` to use in place of any uncertain stroke.

Swipe north on the `分隔`(Separate) key for quick deletion of unfinished strokes.
