Subject: bug#58506: Use ".dir-locals.eld" and ".dir-locals-2.eld" when they exist

So the dotted pair notation should be avoided only at the first level.

Then what about making it closer to the syntax of display-buffer-alist rules
where CONDITION is passed to buffer-match-p that can match not only major-mode,
but also a regular expression of a buffer name.  And display-buffer-alist's
ACTION alist already looks like dir-locals's alist.

The drawback of the current syntax is that `mode` and `eval`
are used like variables, but really are keywords.  Using the
keyword syntax `:` will help to resolve this ambiguity.

Then for backwards-compatibility dir-locals could support both
the current dotted pairs and new :keyword syntax, where unrecognized
keywords are simply ignored in older versions.

Also should file-local variables support the same :keyword syntax?
