VKB does not allow numeric data entry.

Unable enter data in entry fields which require numeric or special characters using VKB while testing elf.


Steps
1.	Ensure Weston.ini is configured to automatically launch the keyboard application
2.	Change directory to  ${install-prefix}/bin
3.	Launch Weston : Weston-launch
4.	Launch Weston terminal
5.	execute ELM_ENGINE=wayland_shm ./elementary_test 
6.	'Elementary Tests application' launches
7.	From ‘Elementary Test’ window select ‘Entry Scrolled’ to launch ‘Entry Scrolled’ test 
8.	Go to field that displays ‘0123’ .  This  field requires numeric input.
9.	When VKB appears, click on ‘?123’ key to switch to display numeric keys, however ‘?123’ does not switch the VKB.
10.	Observe that VKB does not display numeric keys to allow numeric user entries       
11.	VKB should allow user to select numeric entries using ‘?123’ key

Expected Result:
User can input alpha numeric/special characters in text entry using VKB. Weston should allow numeric and text entries. (example: sam71@gmail.com, K8N5W6)

Actual Result:
VKB does not allow text entry using the numeric/special characters. User cannot enter a combination of alpha numeric characters in text entry. Examples email: sam71@gmail.com, postal code: K8N5W6.

    keyboard: add the missing symbols layout, fix arabic layout
    
    The "symbols" modifier key of weston-keyboard is no longer
    inactive, but will provide an additionnal layout with
    numerals and special characters.
    
    Fix the Arabic keyboard, which was rendering out of the
    bounds, and now use the Arabic IBM PC keyboard as a
    reference for its standard and new symbols layouts.
