Missing characters for French layout

The French layout is missing the 'œ' character (cf. U+0153 LATIN SMALL LIGATURE OE) and the 'æ' also. 'œ' is a common ligature used in the word « nœud » meaning node or « cœur » meaning heart. By the way, the spelling propositions for 'c', 'o', 'e', propose coeur, not cœur…

In addition, it would be nice to have the "…" (U+2026 HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS) available. I suggest it to be an accents version of the full dot.

So file /usr/share/maliit/plugins/com/jolla/layouts/fr.qml may be modified to have :

CharacterKey { caption: "a"; captionShifted: "A"; symView: "1"; symView2: "€" ; accents: "aäàâáãåæ"; accentsShifted: "AÄÀÂÁÃÅÆ" }
CharacterKey { caption: "o"; captionShifted: "O"; symView: "9"; symView2: "["; accents: "oöôòóœ"; accentsShifted: "OÖÔÒÓŒ" }
CharacterKey {
            caption: "."
            captionShifted: "."
            width: punctuationKeyWidthNarrow
            fixedWidth: true
            separator: false
            accents: ".…"
        }
