The attached patch updates the Rulemak layout:

Latin (Colemak) letters on AltGr are abandoned in favor of extra Cyrillic characters for Belarusian, Ukrainian, Rusyn, Serbian and Macedonian (inspired by the "Russian-Ukrainian United layout" in the same file).  No changes to the main layout.  The Latin letters are still available through Mode_switch on MENU.

The remaining AltGr spots could be assigned for specific use cases, eg. archaic letters (ѣ, ѫ, ...), or non-Slavic languages (Kazakh, ...), but there are too many Cyrillic letters to support them all by default.  So we we limit to the contemporary Slavic alphabets, as these are the most relevant and most widely supported Cyrillic characters.

Update layout according to guidelines:

* no other layout maps MENU, so remove it here too
* use includes for special keys (space and caps)
* move the layout under the "EXTRAS" section
