Allow vial config to be done at a keyboard level
Currently to support vial with a keyboard the following needs to be done
- Add VIAL_KEYBOARD_UID to the config.h in the keymap folder
- Add vial.json to the keymap folder
What would be nice to have is to be able to add a keyboard variant that contains both the vial.json and config.h.
For example currently when you've got 2 keymaps supporting VIAL it look like this.
This would require the vial.json and config.h to be created 2 times

In this configuration the idea would be that you could compile each keymap as a vial compatible keymap.
For example like this:
`make pieterv24/testboard/vial:default`
`make pieterv24/testboard/vial:pieterv24`
or without vial like:
`make pieterv24/testboard:default`
`make pieterv24/testboard:pieterv24`
