Ability to switch language under platform eglfs/linuxfb

I need to change keymap under platforms eglfs and linuxfb (without wayland).
I use the function QEglFSFunctions::loadKeymap(const QString&), but there's
no way to switch between english and another language than to press AltGr as
a modifier. I added the function that allows to change the language. And also
added the ability to switch the keymap and language for the platform linuxfb

and also added the ability to switch the keymap and language for the platform linuxfb
