The xkb official name for the Arabic keyboard layout is 'ara'.
However xkb has for at least the past 15 years also permitted it to
be named via the legacy synonym 'ar'.  In xkeyboard-config 2.39 this
synoynm was removed, which breaks compilation of QEMU:

FAILED: pc-bios/keymaps/ar
/home/fred/qemu-git/src/qemu/build-full/qemu-keymap -f pc-bios/keymaps/ar -l ar
xkbcommon: ERROR: Couldn't find file "symbols/ar" in include paths

The upstream xkeyboard-config change removing the compat
mapping is:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xkeyboard-config/xkeyboard-config/-/commit/470ad2cd8fea84d7210377161d86b31999bb5ea6

Make QEMU always ask for the 'ara' xkb layout, which should work on
both older and newer xkeyboard-config.  We leave the QEMU name for
this keyboard layout as 'ar'; it is not the only one where our name
for it deviates from the xkb standard name.
