[PATCH libX11 1/4] man: Redirect users from XKeycodeToKeysym to XkbKeycodeToKeysym #25732

XKeycodeToKeysym keeps compatibility with pre-XKB and thus only sees 2
groups with 2 levels each. It wraps the index into the next group.
This behavior confuses the unaware user, and therefore this will add a
reference to XkbKeycodeToKeysym in the corresponding man paragraph.
Another bug had that issue, too. #5349
