📄 Description

The keyboard module now uses glob pattern matching instead of exact string matching when looking up the layout icon from the user-provided map. This allows users to define more flexible rules for displaying icons based on layout names, for example, using * to match variations of a layout (en_*).

This was implemented using the wildmatch crate.

My usecase is that

    icons.layout_map = {
      "English (Colemak-DH ISO)" = "🇺🇸";
      "Estonian"                 = "🇪🇪";
      "Russian (GOST 14289-88)"  = "🇷🇺";
    };

this looks kinda ugly and hard to manage. I'd prefer to just have "English *" instead.
