[Keymap] Adding my keymaps for ergodox_ez and kyria (#9365)
* Trying to fix problems in my kyria steez

* repeating last commit.....

* repeating last commit on EDIT layer but swapping direction

exit

* moving the reversed desktop moves to the symbol layers on the same hand, for easier activation

* adding mac desktop movement keys to Kyria layout

* Adding readmes to my keymaps

* Removing a png...

* Update keyboards/ergodox_ez/keymaps/rmw/keymap-mac.c removing EPRM case

* Apply suggestions from code review

Great updates to various old-school or outdated ways I was doing things, removing some commented out code, etc.

* Apply suggestions from code review

Additional improvements

* Moving tapdances.cpp to userspace as tapdances.c

* reindenting the Kyria keymap to follow four-spaces convention, turning off oled on my kyria, improving the led handling on the Ergodox.

* updating led stuff on the other two versions of the keymap, removing EPRM key from main keymap

* Apply suggestions from code review

I'm adding these various removals to the config file because it seems that at this time those settings are in harmony with the ergodox_ez defaults.

* Moving encoder functions into their own userspace file

* Apply suggestions from code review

Removing settings that are now defaults, clearing out placeholder custom keycodes (smh)

* updating encoder functions.

* Moving to LAYOUT_stack for all layers, adding end of file newlines, switching to some shorter keycode aliases

* Okay, refactor is well underway.

* refactored! Also improved led handling for ergodox and rgb handling for kyria

* removing mac/windows swappable version because I don't feel like dealing with it when reflashing is so easy.

* moving LAYOUT_stack into kyria.h

* moving the alternate default layer down next to QWERTY

# RMW Ergodox_EZ Layout
This is the keymap I use on the Ergodox_EZ I use for work. I write reports and code in a variety of languages on this board and the various layers provide plenty of flexibility for navigating, editing text, and writing code and prose.
I switched to a Mac in the past year, so my keymap now mostly gets used in the Mac mode; simply edit the keymap.c file to uncomment \#include keymap-win.c and comment out \#include keymap-mac.c to change back to the Windows version, but I haven't been updating that map as I've made changes moving forward on the Mac version.
## The theory of this keymap
The base layer is either QWERTY or MINIMAK4, as desired. Overlaid on that base layer are various layers triggered by one-shots, TOs, and LTs. Tapdances are used to cram lots of mods into few keys and provide freedom to hit combinations with either hand. Mods and layer things are one-shot (where reasonable) because I prefer that.
An EDIT layer provides text navigation, selection, and editing capabilities in home position. The EXCEL layer offers a numpad and various spreadsheet-useful navigations and operations. Holding S will put the numpad under your right hand in home position. Keys F and J offer various useful symbols (mostly) on the opposite hand when held, including \[\]\(\)\{\} under the left pointer and middle fingers on bottom, middle, and top rows respectively. The MEDIA layer provides media controls (obvs) and some mouse movement and nav, in case I don't feel like reaching for the trackball/trackpad/mouse.
