Attempt to further improve keysym name info in man page
- Move it to the top of the grammar section since it applies to
multiple commands, not just the keysym KEYSYMNAME = KEYSYMNAME command
- Note that XKeysymDB supplements keysymdef.h, doesn't stand in place
of it.
- Add note about automatic mapping of Unicode characters to keysyms
