Always use fake keycode bindings for level3 and level5

With this patch the real modifiers get bound to a virtual modifier only
through fake keycodes, which accounts for both the case where a key gets
bound to a different modifier by the first layout (and thus the second
layout loses its modifier behaviour) and the case where two virtual
modifiers would get bound to the same keycode.
