[Bug 2105957] [NEW] [SRU] Add micmute key for Dell Pro Max series

[Yao Wei]

Public bug reported:

[ Impact ]

 * This patch adds hwdb entries to map mic mute keycode to F20, so that
the key is usable in Xorg.

[ Test Plan ]

 * On targeted unit, under Xorg, test that mic mute does not work

 * Update the package to -proposed and restart desktop, test the same
key, the mic mute key should work to mute the microphone.

[ Where problems could occur ]

 * Since the key is mapped to F20 (by convention in xkeyboard-config),
if user redefine F20 for other purposes, it might not work as intended.

[ Other Info ]

 * Do not update for plucky. In plucky, the keycode translation is done
in xserver-xorg-input-libinput (see Bug #2103967), and wayland can take
the micmute keycode as is.
