  * osk-widget: The variant can be NULL
  * osk-key: Document some more methods
  * osk-key: Add getter for `icon`
    Will be useful in the tests
  * tests: Simplify creating tests.
    No need to define them individually
  * osk-widget: Simplify logic flow a bit.
    Don't set the new layer when it didn't change. This happened in
    pos_osk_widget_set_layer anyway but this way it is more obvious.
  * tests: Test layer switching.
    Test the layer switching state machine so we don't accidentally break
    things when making changes.
  * osk-widget: Make it easier to switch to symbols2 layer.
    So far one needed to press symbols -> shift. Allow shift -> symbols to
    trigger that layer as well.
    Also pressing the symbols key when caps lock is on triggers symbols2
    and turns off caps lock (as all layer changes do so)
    Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/guidog/phosh-osk-stub/-/issues/43
  * osk-widget: Improve key symbols.
    Hint which symbol layer will be activated
