[kbd] Caps Lock doesn't affect e.g. Cyrillic letters in UTF-8 keymaps

Hello.
When using e.g. ruwin_ct_sh-UTF-8 keymap (in pure console, no X involved
;) ) Caps Lock doesn't work for Cyrilic letters. Shift key does work for
them, though.
Looks like Cyrillic letters are not interpreted as such because they are
defined in the following way:
altgr keycode 16 = U+0439
altgr shift keycode 16 = U+0419
But probably (judging by keymaps man page) they should be defined like this:
altgr keycode 16 = +U+0439
altgr shift keycode 16 = +U+0419
This looks like a regression during Unicode conversion and affects all
Unicode keymaps.
Would be nice to have this sorted out.
