[arch-general] How can I set CAPS LOCK as Escape throughout reboot

AFAIK `.xinitrc` is sourced only if you start your DE/WM with `startx`.

basically it depends on what display manager and/or DE/WM you are using,
but a general solution that applies to most cases is put "setxkbmap
-option caps:escape" in `~/.xprofile` since most display manager
executes it, or messing with your WM/DE settings
