Update user-faq.md about keyboard layout

Browse Source 
I know this feels like a workaround for some misbehaving/missing UI, but it is better than the reference to the ML discussion, and it links to the open issue.

I have not done extensive testing to this method. I am sending the PR in a hurry because I have been frustrated (missing my compose-key) for some days after reinstalling, and I think this may prove useful for other users. Please try to reproduce and/or get some community feedback before accepting the PR;  Also, feel free to reword, reformat, or discard :)

### My keyboard layout settings are not behaving correctly. What should I do?
Please read [this discussion](https://groups.google.com/d/topic/qubes-devel/d8ZQ_62asKI/discussion).
In `Q` → `System Tools` → `Keyboard` → `Layout`, leave the checkbox `Use system defaults` checked. Do not customize the keyboard layout here.
Set the system-wide layout and options for `xorg` with the `localectl` command in `dom0`. You can use `localectl --help` as a starting point.
Example: `localectl set-x11-keymap us dell ,qwerty compose:caps`.
This generates the appropriate configuration in `/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf`.
Restarting `xorg` is required. The easy way is to reboot the system.
