In particular, having backtick and backslash on the fn layer wasn't
helpful since they have dedicated keys now.
Also for the most part, the shift+number punctuation keys are in
sequential order, which makes them a lot easier to learn. (The
exception is the # key, which is moved down to make room for the arrow
cluster.)
The parens are moved so they're surrounding the arrows on the home
row, and the curly brackets are moved to mirror the square brackets.
A redundant backspace is added so it can be hit with either hand now.

The new device APIs were built on top of composition (instead of inheritance,
like the former one). At the highest level, we have `kaleidoscope::device::Base`
and `kaleidoscope::device::BaseProps`. The latter is a set of overrideable
properties, components that make up the device: the key scanner, LEDs, MCU, and
so on.
Many components - like the key scanner and LEDs - also come in a similar setup:
the base class and properties, because this allows us to make them fairly
efficient templates.
All of the existing devices have been ported to the new APIs. While the old
`Hardware` base class remains - for now, and deprecated - it is not guaranteed
to work.

Instead of having to define `HARDWARE_IMPLEMENTATION` to the class name of the
device, and define `KeyboardHardware` from within the plugin, let all devices
set `kaleidoscope::Device` to their own class via a typedef. Furthermore,
instead of `KeyboardHardware`, use `Kaleidoscope.device()` instead. This makes
device plugins a little bit simpler, and our naming more consistent.
Because some parts of the firmware need to access the device object before the
`Kaleidoscope` object is available, we can't make it a member of that. For this
reason, the device object is `kaleidoscope_internal::device`, and
`Kaleidoscope.device()` wraps it. In general, the wrapper should be used. But if
access to the device is required before `Kaleidoscope` is available, then that's
also available.
The `Kaleidoscope` object grew a few more wrappers: `storage()` and
`serialPort()`, so that one doesn't need to use `Kaleidoscope.device()`
directly, but can use the wrappers, which are noticably shorter to write.

Some boards used to provide the device object under an alias named after the
device itself. For the sake of consistency, we do not want to provide these
aliases in the future. As such, deprecate them, and update all users to use
`KeyboardHardware` instead.

Moved all of the Devices into vendor subdirectories, and named the board
directories after the board itself.
