Mention xkeyboard-config(7) in setxkbmap(1)

Hi,

setxkbmap is a great tool, but one has to "guess" the name of known
keyboard models, layouts and variants. xkeyboard-config(7) lists all
that (and more). It would be very nice if setxkbmap(1) was modified to
mention it.

Attached a patch that addresses this minor issue.

Cheers.

Patches get reviewed and applied much faster when mailed to xorg-devel
instead of bugzilla, as noted in

Thanks for the patch - it doesn't seem to be against git master, where that
file is now man/setxkbmap.man, so I had to adjust it when applying, and as
long as I was there, fixed (7) to be (__miscmansuffix__) so it gets the right
section on other platforms.
