HID: appletb-kbd: support layer switching on Fn double press

Holding Fn temporarily switches the Touch Bar between media controls and
function keys. Users who want to keep the alternate layer currently need
to change the mode through sysfs.

An optional double_press_switch_time module parameter makes a double press
persistently switch the default layer. Its value specifies the double-press
interval in milliseconds, while zero leaves the behavior disabled.
