Description

This is just a minor request: as a vimmer using jk as an escape sequence, it would be very helpful to allow defining multiple evil-escape-key-sequences that would ease the transition to the Spacemacs's default fd.

Changing the evil-escape-key-sequence was one of the first things I've learned and done after starting Spacemacs. As I leaned more into Spacemacs spc prefix combined with spc f s I felt tempted to give a 2nd chance to fd. As a newbie, going the key-chord route sounds a bit scary/too complicated (maybe because what I have read was not very conclusive)

_Note: originally reported https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/issues/5445 and with a workaround based on key-chord.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the current evil escape implementation to understand how a single key sequence is handled. Then, design a method to allow multiple sequences, possibly by checking a list of sequences in the escape detection code.
