Keymap: add jyh levinson keymaps (#4284)
* Keymap: add jyh levinson keymaps remove tap dance number keys due to sluggish responses simplify I2C configuration reverse hyper and meh positions reduce tapping term to allow fast typing with mod tap space keys remove Alt hold on right space key. too many false touches. add vim-style arrows (hjkl) on asdf; semicolon/quote on raise correct documentation string for jyh levinson layout add alternative levinson layout for jyh more inspiration from atreus keyboard. keeps shift in the expected places. reduces number of layers. puts numpad layout easily accessible. places important keys on palms and meta keys on top corners for xmonad. correct layer switching in jyh2 levinson layout I was getting stuck on the numpad layer because the numpad hold key was remapped once the layer was activated. Bad idea. Minor other refinements. use curly bracket { instead of brace [ on raise layer add RGB keys on adjust layer bootmagic key is confusing. turn it off. try out permissive hold setting to make mod-tap better remove hold for right control on quote key. too many mistakes turn off permissive hold. it was causing unexpected behavior enable rgb underglow animations add make it pink/blue key to levinson layout prevent stuck modifiers in jyh2 levinson keymap * fix up deprecated code after code review * remove PREVENT_STUCK_MODIFIERS because it is default Co-Authored-By: yamad <jyamada1@gmail.com>

+# jyh's levinson layout
+
+[Levinson](https://keeb.io/products/levinson-lets-split-w-led-backlight)
+built on rev2 PCBs. A split 4x12 keyboard with LED backlights.
+
+The layout is oriented towards needs for programming, Emacs, XMonad,
+and experience with 60% keyboards with no base layer arrow keys
+(Poker). It makes heavy use of modifiers and layers. It is influenced
+by good ideas from the Atreus keyboard layout.
+
+## Layout features
+
+ * Extensive use of _Mod Tap_, e.g.
+ * Tap sends Esc, Hold sends Left Control
+ * Tap sends Tab, Hold activates Numpad layer
+ * Tap sends - , Hold sends Shift
+ * ... and many more
+ * Places Tab and Enter on bottom corners, for hitting with palm
+ * Meta is available on top corners, for controlling XMonad
+ * Control on center key, for Emacs (among other things)
+ * Backspace (Control Hold) and Space on center keys
+ * All 60% keys available on base layer, except for numbers
+ * Hyper and Meh keys
+ * Right modifier keys in place of arrow keys
+ * Arrows are instead available in two alternate locations:
+ * WASD arrows on _Adjust_
+ * Arrow cluster on _Raise_ (inspired by hexwire)
+ * Numpad and Numrow on _Raise_ layer. Each is faster in some contexts
+ * Function keys on _Lower_
+ * Dynamic macros from QMK firmware on _Adjust_
+ * Redunant keys where it is convenient to have characters together
+ on one layer
