mitosis:datagrok: minor layout improvements (#2366)

* mitosis/datagrok: make qwerty the default layout

* mitosis/datagrok: update readme to match qwerty default

* mitosis:datagrok: remove redundant name for transparent

meh, decided i don't need an extra key to represent "key that is
transparent because it's a modifier on a layer below." it's a maintenance
burden when moving other keys around

* mitosis:datagrok: add num lock on Blue + QWERTY T

* mitosis:datagrok: tap lshift = tab

we use tab completion a lot so let's get it onto an unmodified key somehow

* mitosis:datagrok: update readme

* mitosis:datagrok: improve notes in README

* mitosis:datagrok: note numlock in README

- `?` and `!` are moved to take the place of `<` and `>`. Rationale: unmodded
  and shifted keys should be for prose, while symbols useful for programming
  should be colocated on their own layer.

## To do

- Figure out where to place non-numpad numbers so we don't need num lock turned
  on to type them?
- Improve LED indications (may require modding bluetooth firmware):
    - Is any board nonresponsive (which one?)
    - Does either board have a low battery?
- Add Insert, PrintScr, Pause/Break
- Make QWERTY base layer for people who customize layout in software? Store
  default base layer in eeprom?
- See if the henkans placement is at all useful for Japanese speakers, or abuse
  different keysyms
- Mod a speaker onto my receiver and enable tones
- ~~Make QWERTY base layer for people who customize layout in software?~~ I
  default to QWERTY now.
- Store default base layer in eeprom?
- See if the henkan/muhenkan placement is at all useful for Japanese speakers,
  or abuse different keysyms for Left/Right Hyper. (Original space cadet used
  scancodes 145/175. 145 is LANG2, 175 is "reserved" in USB HID spec.)
- Mod a buzzer onto my receiver and enable tones
- Implement "layer lock" key
- Improve tri-layer behavior
