doc/user: link to the explanation why we can't change the tap default

Browse source 
We don't have an API for "device really should have tapping enabled" so
right now the only indicator of whether that's the case is when the
device has tapping enabled by default. This kind of prevents us from
switching the default, so let's at least link to the comment explaining
this.

@ -34,6 +34,10 @@ Tapping is **enabled** by default on devices where tapping is the only
method to trigger button clicks. This includes devices without physical
buttons such as touch-capable graphics tablets.
.. note:: Unfortunately due to the current API design, devices that require
tapping effectively prevent us from changing this default. For details see
`this comment <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libinput/-/issues/926#note_2056476>`_.
Tapping can be enabled/disabled on a per-device basis. See
**libinput_device_config_tap_set_enabled()** for details.
