no way to configure keyboard using Chromebook mapping

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/inet includes the key mapping tweaks required by Chromebook keyboards. I can confirm that they are correct by appending them to the /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/pc file and restarting. But I can find no way to choose "Chromebook" as my keyboard type or layout. I looked through all of the options provided by `sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration` and the Text Entry System Settings.

Ubuntu 16.04 has come a very long way in supporting Chromebooks out of box, and Ubuntu is even easy to install on these machines. There are just a couple details like this and it'll be a seamless out-of-box experience!
