The boolean wasOn was unnecessary, and there was no need to call
bitSet() (or bitClear(), in the case of Layer.off()) if the test
passed. Mostly, I just added a few explanatory comments.
(Aslo reversed the sense of the on/off test in Layer.on() and .off())
@algernon likes it better this way, and I agree.
`updateActiveLayers()` makes it impossible to turn off the default
layer, so there's no point searching past it for the highest layer,
and `defaultLayer` can be set to numbers higher than zero.
Now that `layer_count` is (potentially) available, we can start
looking for active layers at the top _defined_ layer instead of the
top _possible_ layer. This ought to be more efficient, especially for
sketches that don't have lots of layers defined.
Also introduced the `MAX_LAYERS` constant (#define).
If it's an old sketch, LayerCount will default to 0, so in order for
Layer.on() to function, don't bother checking for out-of-bounds if
LayerCount == 0.
Declaring LayerCount as a weak symbol in layers.cpp lets us override
it if the CREATE_KEYMAP macro is used to define the keymap in the
sketch file, but still allows old sketch files to compile without
errors.
Still some changes necessary to allow old sketches to work
properly (Layer.on() will abort before doing anything).
This macro allows the definition of the LayerCount variable and the
keymaps[] array together. It shouldn't break old sketches, but this is
probably not all that's necessary; LayerCount still doesn't get
initialized outside the macro.
Use `LAYER_SHIFT_OFFSET` instead of `MOMENTARY_OFFSET`, which will start
emitting compile-time warnings now.

For all cases outside of Kaleidoscope itself, we are good with the value of
`highestLayer`, and do not need to re-scan the layer state. For this reason -
upon @obra's suggestion - rename `Layer.highest()` to `Layer.top()`, and the old
`Layer.top()` to `Layer.updateHighestLayer()`, and make the latter private, and
update the `highestLayer` member variable instead of returning the number.

Refactor the momentary layer handling part of `handleKeymapKeyswitchEvent`.
Instead of a bunch of ifs that are increasingly hard to follow, use a switch
based on the target layer, and branch out depending on `keyState` from there.
Makes it easier to follow what happens.

If we have two keys on our keymap that momentarily go to the same layer (which
is the case for the factory firmware), we hold both, and release one, we want
the layer to remain active still.
To this effect, in `handleKeymapKeyswitchEvent` we will handle the case when a
momentary layer key is pressed, but not toggled on (that is, it is held): if it
is not a next/previous switch, we re-activate the layer if it wasn't on.
This fixes#154, thanks to @ToyKeeper for the report.

With the new implementation, there are two lookup functions, because we have two
caches, and different parts of the firmware will want to use either this or
that (or perhaps both, in rare cases).
First of all, we use caches because looking up a key through all the layers
is costy, and the cost increases dramatically the more layers we have.
Then, we have the `effectiveKeymapCache`, because to have layer behaviours
we want, that is, if you hold a key on a layer, release the layer key but
continue holding the other, we want for the layered keycode to continue
repeating. At the same time, we want other keys to not be affected by the
now-turned-off layer. So we update the keycode in the cache on-demand, when
the key is pressed or released. (see the top of `handleKeyswitchEvent`).
On the other hand, we also have plugins that scan the whole keymap, and do
things based on that information, such as highlighting keys that changed
between layers. These need to be able to look at a state of where the
keymap *should* be, not necessarily where it is. The `effectiveKeymapCache`
is not useful here. So we use a `keymapCache` which we update whenever
layers change (see `Layer.on` and `Layer.off`), and it updates the cache to
show how the keymap should look, without the `effectiveKeymapCache`-induced
behaviour.
Thus, if we are curious about what a given key will do, use `lookup`. If we
are curious what the active layer state describes the key as, use
`lookupUncached`.

Only update the keymap cache if the layer state changed for real. If we turn a
layer that was already on, on again, we do not need to update. Same for turning
them off.
This results in a tiny speedup if we have code that calls `Layer.on()` or
`Layer.off()` often.

When we change layers, we want to update the key cache for the whole keyboard,
so that LED modes and other things that depend on all keys being up-to-date will
work as expected.
Do the same at `Kaleidoscope.setup` time, so we start with a good state too.
This fixeskeyboardio/Kaleidoscope-Numlock#7.

Switch from the masking behaviour to repeating the symbol the key had when first

Instead of storing the layer for each key, store the keycode, so that lookups
are considerably faster (one array lookup instead of two). This saves us almost
a full millisecond per scan cycle. Furthermore, inline `Layer_.lookup`, saving
us even more time.

This changes how key caching & lookup works: instead of updating the whole key
cache whenever we change the layer state, we update each key before they are
pressed or released. This allows us to have two different ways in which layers
can work:
- Keys still held when releasing the layer key will be masked out until they are
released. (This is the current behaviour)
- Keys held will repeat the keycode they had when they toggled on, even if the
layer key gets released prior to this other key, while other keys will not be
affected.
One can toggle between the two modes by setting
`Kaleidoscope.repeat_first_press` to `true` (second behaviour) or `false` (first
behaviour).
For now, the default behaviour is left unchanged.

The goal is to ignore key events from still-held keys in a situation where we
just turned a layer off. Thus, if one holds a momentary layer key, then presses
and holds another key, releases the layer key, we want to ignore the other held
keys until they are released.
This is accomplished by masking all held keys when a momentary layer has been
turned off, and ignoring all masked key events in `handleKeyswitchEvent` until
they are released, when we unmask them.
This should address #150, but requires
keyboardio/Kaleidoscope-Hardware-Model01#9.

We want to allow plugins to change how keys are looked up - or where they are
looked up from -, and for this, the way we do that final lookup from `keymaps`
or elsewhere, must be overrideable.
We do this by having a `getKey` function pointer in the `Layer_` class, which
defaults to `getKeyFromPROGMEM`. Any plugin, or sketch, can change where
`getKey` points to, and thereby change the way keys are looked up.

To make things easier, just include the main header. It includes
everything else we need, and this way we do not need to cherry pick, nor
care if any of the other headers move, disappear, etc.

Since we pre-fill the cached `keyMap` with the value of `DefaultLayer`, there is
no need to check that layer again, looking for a non-transparent key. Whatever
is there, will be used anyway.
This way we save a cycle for keys that are transparent everywhere but the
default layer.

We fill the cached `keyMap` with the value of `DefaultLayer`, so if that is the
only layer active, then we can bail out early.

Instead of going through all the active layers each time we are looking for a
key, whenever we switch layers, compute the effective keymap, and store the
indexes. This makes the lookup a considerably faster operation, and lookups
happen far more often than layer switching.
This comes at a cost of ROWS*COLS amount of memory, and a bit of code, but on
the flip side, the lookup operation is now O(1), which is a very nice property
to have, if you want responsiveness. Changing layers is marginally slower,
however, but even with 32 active layers, doing the computation once, instead of
potentially many dozens of time, is still worth it.
We could further reduce the memory requirements if we stored more columns per
byte, but that's for a future optimization.

Instead of always iterating through all layers, which slows us down
considerably, keep track of the highest active one, and start from there.
This has a VERY noticeable impact on the speed at which we finish a scan cycle.

When toggling a layer, the same keycode should toggle the layer off, too.
Without this, toggling layers won't work at all, because the target layer will
never be turned off.

The layer handling is a core functionality, it should be active at all times,
and should be at the very end, before the default event handler. Otherwise there
may be ordering issues, when a plugin wants to return layer keys from its own
event handler.
This also saves us a couple of bytes of both code and data, as an additional
bonus!

Instead of returning a bool, to signal whether further processing should be
done, return a Key. Reason being, if we want to replace a key with another, for
subsequent handlers, it is a lot easier if we can modify what gets passed along,
than it is to inject a key, and try to avoid loops and infinite recursion.
Nevertheless, injecting keys is still possible.
This is not immediately useful for the core firmware, but makes it trivially
easy to upgrade keys from their normal behaviour to something special: for
example, a one-shot handler can auto-promote modifiers to one-shot, simply by
scheduling a promoter handler before the real one.
