Update noroadsleft userspace and keymaps (2021-05-03) (#12796)

Browse Source 
* Set Dvorak as the standard base layer

* Remove unneeded includes

* Remove custom handling for Quake 2

Have now rewritten my in-game configuration to use Dvorak mapping instead of QWERTY, which means I don't need any of this stuff.

* Clean up comments in KC60 keymap

## Base Layers
### Layer 0: QWERTY - `_QW`
My base layers are pretty standard for a 60%, with the following changes:
Standard QWERTY layout, with four QMK features:
- The `Menu` key has been replaced by `MO(_FW)`, which moves to my Windows Fn layer when held.
- The `Menu` key has been replaced by `MO(_FN)`, which moves to my Function layer when held.
- The Right `GUI` key has been replaced with a `MO(_MA)` key, which moves to the Macro layer when held.
- The `Caps Lock` key has been replaced with a dual function `LT()` key, which opens the Windows Fn layer when held, and is `Caps Lock` when tapped
- The Left `Control` key has been replaced with a `MT(MOD_CTRL, KC_GRV)` key, which is <code>&#96; ~</code> when tapped and `Ctrl` when held.
- The `Caps Lock` key has been replaced with a dual function `LT()` key, which opens the Function layer when held, and is `Caps Lock` when tapped.
- The Left `Control` key has been replaced with a `MT(MOD_CTRL, KC_GRV)` key, which is `Ctrl` when held and <code>&#96; ~</code> when tapped.

### Layer 0: Dvorak - `_DV`
A hardware-based Dvorak Simplified layout. In this layer, I can leave the host system in QWERTY, plug my keyboard in, and still type in Dvorak.

- Accessed by holding either `Fn` and tapping `/?` key, then tapping `2@`.
A hardware-based Dvorak Simplified layout. At my weekend job, I use a shared computer that runs MacOS Sierra, in US QWERTY layout. In this layer, I can leave the system in QWERTY, plug my keyboard in, and still type in Dvorak.
For when other people need to use my keyboard. :)

A hardware-based Colemak layout. Been thinking of trying it, so it's here.

These layers were born out of the confusion I have had trying to use the in-game chat and the console in [Quake 2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quake_II). When Quake 2 came out, alternate keyboard layouts weren't really a thing. As a result, all in-game text input is hard-locked to US QWERTY, regardless of what the operating system is using for its input method.
I have solved this by writing a custom QMK macro. The keycode in the System layer that enables these layers, [`GO_Q2`](./keymap.c#L205), is a [macro](./keymap.c#L63-L70) that sets the default layer to the QWERTY layer, then turns the Quake 2 layer `_Q2` on. The result is a partially-overwritten QWERTY layer, that changes the dual-function Left Control/Grave key to a standard Left Control, and the Enter key into a special Enter key specific to Quake 2.
When I hit the `Enter` key (bound in-game to text chat), the [macro keycode](./keymap.c#L71-L86) I've created sends the keycode for `Enter`, then follows with flipping an internal boolean variable and enabling the Hardware Dvorak layer. Now the game is in text chat mode, and my keyboard is in Dvorak. When I hit `Enter` again, another `Enter` key is sent, which sends the message, then the macro flips the boolean back to false and disables the Hardware Dvorak layer, which brings me back to the standard QWERTY+Quake 2 setup. Hitting `Escape` instead runs a [macro](./keymap.c#L87-L97) that cancels the sending of the message, and undoes the layers.
I used to have some macro craziness here. I've now switched to leaving my main system in QWERTY and having the Dvorak stuff happen on the keyboard, and setting my in-game key assignments to the Dvorak mapping (`.OEU` instead of `ESDF`).
