keyboard: Whitelist a few more options for the 3rd level chooser (903 bytes, patch)

Description Luc Pi 2014-02-10 20:38:28 UTC 
There used to be a way to set "Enter on keypad" as the alternative character key (aka AltGr, aka the Key to choose 3rd level). It seems it disappeared from the choice list.

"Enter on keypad" is a good candidate key for AltGr on some MacBook keyboards like [1].

These work as good as the others since they're simple switches and it
seems that some users want them.

I think we wanted to leave the exoteric stuff out of these options but
I guess I was a little too conservative. Pushing these now.
