Creates a layouts/ folder for keymaps shared between keyboards (#1609)
* include variables and .h files as pp directives * start layout compilation * split ergodoxes up * don't compile all layouts for everything * might seg fault * reset layouts variable * actually reset layouts * include rules.mk instead * remove includes from rules.mk * update variable setting * load visualizer from path * adds some more examples * adds more layouts * more boards added * more boards added * adds documentation for layouts * use lowercase names for LAYOUT_ * add layout.json files for each layout * add community folder, default keymaps for layouts * touch-up default layouts * touch-up layouts, some keyboard rules.mk * update documentation for layouts * fix up serial/i2c switches

+# ErgoDox EZ Utilities
+
+The Python script in this directory, by [mbarkhau](https://github.com/mbarkhau) allows you to write out a basic ErgoDox EZ keymap using Markdown notation, and then transpile it to C, which you can then compile. It's experimental, but if you're not comfortable using C, it's a nice option.
