Description

Adds Aura support for ASUS ROG Strix G16 G614PP laptop.
Manually verified by comparing to Armoury Crate available Aura features on Windows.
The configuration works when loaded locally into ROG Control Center as well.
Manually verified that all other modes except the ones listed in the entry are unsupported.
This model doesn't seem to have "basic zones".
Extracted product_id value properly using lsusb.
The configuration is almost identical to G614PR, but I've decided to omit basic_zones because they seem to have no effect (I have no idea what they do when per-key lighting is supported).

Fixes # (issue)

Why did you use the 634 per key instead the 614 per key?

Why did you use the 634 per key instead the 614 per key?

I've compared both layouts and it seemed to me that 634 was closer to the physical layout. It might've been an oversight on my side. Does the locale specified in the layout file matter? My laptop, for example, doesn't seem to have ISO keys (large enter, short lshift, etc.), so I thought that non-ISO would be the right layout choice.

I see. Not that it really matters as it is configure the LEDs layout rather than the buttons themselves
