Add some compose sequences for the Afnor French layout
This key is used to emit letters from European languages with latin languages, and is specified in the standardized French keyboard (NF Z71-300, defined by the French office for standardisation AFNOR)

- by Aalto university, who collaborated on defining the layout

This is the proposed “Eu level”, i.e. the layout when activating the newly defined dead key:
- I have converted the key combinations and placed them into the Compose file right after the other French keys that are also used in this keyboard (most notably dead_greek).
- The definition of the keycode to be used for
dead_latin
is at xorg/proto/xorgproto!60 - There is no corresponding bug that I could find on bugs.freedesktop.org − this ancient bug on creating the greek dead key seems related.
