liveinit: better support for german localizations.

Based on feedback, use Scroll Lock instead of AltGr as the Compose Key.
Also, use 'de-latin1-nodeadkeys' instead of 'de-latin1' for console keyboard
layout, 'de_DE@euro' instead of 'de_DE.utf8' as language definition and
'nodeadkeys' as the X keyboard variant.
