… legacy synonym
The xkb official name for the Arabic keyboard layout is 'ara'. However xkb has for at least the past 15 years also permitted it to be named via the legacy synonym 'ar'. In xkeyboard-config 2.39 this synoynm was removed, which breaks compilation of QEMU:

Make QEMU always ask for the 'ara' xkb layout, which should work on both older and newer xkeyboard-config. We leave the QEMU name for this keyboard layout as 'ar'; it is not the only one where our name for it deviates from the xkb standard name.
