Keyboard keycode reference API

Map between a key name and the JavaScript KeyboardEvent fields — `key`, legacy `keyCode`/`which`, physical `code`, and DOM key `location` (with a readable name). Bidirectional: accepts a key name, numeric keyCode, or code string. Answers 'what is the keyCode for Enter', 'which key is code 65', 'what is event.code for ArrowUp', 'JS keycode reference'.
