Peter Hutterer fa091d7ac4 Differentiate between physical and virtual devices
With passive libei contexts receiving events sent by the EIS
implementation, the type of device changes significantly. While a
relative input device could still send data in logical pixels,
absolute devices may not have that luxury.

Best example here is an external tablet (think: Wacom Intuos): that
tablet has no built-in mapping to a screen and thus cannot capture input
events in logical pixels.

Address this by adding a device type, either virtual or physical.
In terms of functionality, the device's type decides:
- only virtual devices have regions
- only physical devices have a size

The event API remains as-is but the event data not represents either
logical pixels (virtual devices) or mm (physical device).

An EIS implementation connected to a passive libei context would likely
create:
- a virtual relative device (sending deltas in logical pixels)
- one or more physical absolute devices (sending deltas in mm)
