== SRU Justification ==
It's impossible to use power button functionalities in Acer Swift Notebook
Series (tested on Acer Swift 3 sf314-52).  The keyboard button is not
managed at acer-wmi level:

[405.267887] acer_wmi: Unknown key number - 0x87]

This patch adds the KEY_POWER event in acer-wmi.  The patch will also be sent
upstream, but it is being requested in Ubuntu to not wait for it to come back
downstream.  This patch is also needed in Artful and Bionic, but Xenial 
required a minor backport.

== Fix ==
UBUNTU: SAUCE: platform/x86: acer-wmi: add another KEY_POWER keycode

== Regression Potential ==
Low.  This is a oneliner that addes a new keymap.

== Test Case ==
A test kernel was built with this patch and tested by the original bug reporter.
The bug reporter states the test kernel resolved the bug.
