Duplicate `~ key for ISO keyboard

First of all, thank you very much for this keyboard layout!

Context

I am switching back and forth between two types of keyboard and while the ANSI version is perfect, here's what I have on the ISO one:

ukelele-with-empty-key-under-esc

Since ISO keyboard has an extra key, the backtick/tilde key got moved between left_shift and z. This is fine in itself but this leaves the under esc key empty which is annoying.

Proposal

Here's my idea, we duplicate backtick/tilde in order to have the same behavior for both type of keyboard:

ukelele-with-duplicate-key

That way, the ANSI version is not affected and we are more consistent between layouts. What do you think? I have a branch in my fork if you are interested in looking at it before I send a PR.

I just wanted to do the same adjustment and found your issue & fork. I think there's no downside to merging this as it only adds keys for a keycode that otherwise don't exist.
