Document how to use multiple Raspberry Pi boards with a single keyboard and mouse

[aallan]

There is an open source version of Synergy which allows you to share a single keyboard and mouse between multiple computers. See https://www.rauchland.com/articles/using-barrier-to-control-multiple-pcs-with-one-keyboard-and-mouse/ for an existing walkthrough (that isn't Raspberry Pi specific).

With the obvious caveat that you need a separate display attached to each Raspberry Pi 😉

See Gordon's rather excellent write up and video on the blog at https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/share-your-keyboard-and-mouse-between-computers-with-barrier/

@aallan and @ghollingworth actually work together (although not in the same office ATM, for obvious reasons) 😃

I think I opened this before Gordon's article got published based on the internal email thread.

I'm wondering if it is perhaps worth reproducing Gordon's blog post in the documentation. Blog posts sort of get lost after a while.

This might get done as part of #1911, but in any case, closing.
