Add patch that hides the keyboard desktop launcher, remove patch that
tries and fails to make the keyboard a single-instance application.

The desktop launcher of matchbox-keyboard is a source of far more
problems than solutions: As an example there's supposed to be only
one instance running at a time but we give the user several ways to
start multiple instances (and the Matchbox WM Single-Instance
implementation is broken by both design and implementation).

After this patch the only instance of matchbox-keyboard is the
daemonized one that can be shown/hidden with the panel applet (when
there is not hardware keyboard). If an additional matchbox-keyboard
needs to be started for debug reasons, it can still be done from
command line.

Fixes [YOCTO #3093].

Sadly, with this change (and the one it tries to fix), I no longer get
a pop-up matchbox keyboard on my touch-only device.  It used to work
great - any time I had a program wanting input, the keyboard would
appear until I pressed enter.  Now I get nothing and the keyboard icon
in the toolbar is also missing, so my touch based device (no physical
keyboard) is useless :-(

How can I get this behaviour back?  I tried bisecting the changes to find
the cause of the change, but it didn't really tell me much.

This change would have been nice to have much before release to give
people time to react (in the unlikely case that someone actually has a
reasonable use case for the launcher). Unfortunately I only thought of
this solution now.

+Subject: [PATCH] desktop file: Hide the keyboard from app list
+
+matchbox-keyboard is not a normal app and there's no need to start
+it via the desktop app grid when using Sato desktop:
+* when there's no hardware keyboard, the panel applet can be used to
+  show/hide the daemonized matchbox-keyboard
+* when there is a hardware keyboard, matchbox-keyboard can still be
+  started for debug purposes from command line or the applet can be
+  enabled by editing /etc/formfactor/machconfig
+
+So hide the keyboard from the desktop app list.
