 KEY_CAMERA_ACCESS_TOGGLE instead of KEY_CAMERA

Hi Eray,

I'm afraid that we cannot just go and change the emitted key-code,
users might already have setup key-bindings to the existing
KEY_CAMERA code. Also key-codes >= 240 (decimal!) don't work in
X11 based desktop-environments. And even under Wayland they still
have issues, see e.g.:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/4353

So I'm afraid that I cannot take this patch.

Note that since a sparse_keymap is used, you can always override
this on your own systems by using a /etc/udev/hwdb.d/61-keyboard.hwdb
file, see: /lib/udev/hwdb.d/60-keyboard.hwdb for the syntax to
map a (sparse) scancode to the KEY_FOO code of your choice.

Regards,

Hans
