The fixconkeys-part1 script currently uses the "layout" field of the
output of `setxkbmap -query` to determine what keyboard layout to set at
the console level, which makes the disk decryption prompt work. The
problem is it assumes this field will only ever list one keyboard
layout, when in reality it can list multiple keyboard layouts separated
by commas. When this happen, the keyboard will silently fail to be
properly set up.

To fix this, only the first keyboard layout returned by `setxkbmap
-query` should be taken into account. This isn't a perfect solution, but
it's better than the current situation and is safe.

** Affects: calamares-settings-ubuntu (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Confirmed
