Middle button interaction is most commonly to paste and it is a single-event
interaction (button press). We provided middle button in software button mode
by emulating it with a two-finger press with L+R down at the same time. This
is also what many touchpads are spectacularly bad at, it is very common to
detect the physical button down event before the second finger registers,
resulting in left or right clicks where a middle button should be triggered.
Unless the fingers are resting on the touchpad for at least one scanout, the
success rate for middle button emulation is only at 70% or so.
This patch adds a 25%-width middle button area between the left and the right
software button, everything else stays the same. To avoid immediate breakage,
the middle button emulation remains but may be removed in the future.
The doc is updated to only refer to the middle button area now.

The newer Cintiqs have a minimum value of 400/400 advertised by the kernel but
the actual sensor goes past the 0/0 origin. Test this, make sure that a value
outside the boundaries generates negative mm values.

Not much we can do about this until we get SMBus/RMI4 in the kernel or better
touchpads in general but this way we can at least point to some official
explanation.

There were two files (doc/svg/{edge,twofinger}-scrolling.svg) that had both
arrow heads pointing to wrong direction. Those arrow heads used markers but
their ids were defined wrong and therefore they displayed weirdly. On Firefox
the arrow head that should have pointed to left pointed actually to right.
This commit fixes that problem by defining the marker ids correctly.
I tested on Firefox 40.0.3 that the arrow heads are now displayed correctly.

That's the most likely area it will be resting in, if it's sitting anywhere
above that it's likely part of an interaction.
A thumb in the lowest 15mm needs to trigger the pressure threshold before it's
labelled a thumb. A thumb in the lowest 8mm is considered a thumb if it
remains there for 300ms. Regardless of the pressure, since we can't reliably
get pressure here. If a thumb moves out of the area, or starts outside of that
area it is never a thumb.
If edge scrolling is enabled, the 8mm threshold is ineffective since we'll
have normal interaction in that zone for horizontal scrolling.
The thumb tests now require all touchpads to be switched to clickfinger, if we
test for thumb detection on the bottom of the pad we won't get expected
motion events due to the software button area.

A common use-case for clickfinger is to use the index finger for moving the
pointer, then triggering the click with a thumb. If the index finger isn't
lifted before the click this counted as two-finger click.
To avoid this, check the distance between touches on the touchpad (on
touchpads reporting resolution values anyway). If the touches are too far
apart, don't count them together (or specifically only count those close
enough together as multi-finger).
The touch area is uneven, it's wider than high. Spreading fingers horizontally
is more common and this also makes it easier to rule out thumbs which tend to
be well below the fingers.

Touches in the exclusion zone are ignored for palm detection and don't move
the cursor. Tapping however triggers before we know whether something is a
palm or not, so we get erroneous button clickst.
If a tap happens in the top half of the touchpad, within the palm exclusion
zones, ignore it for tap purposes. To avoid further complicating the state
machine simply pretend there was a movement > threshold on that finger. This
advances the tap state machine properly that no button events are sent for
this finger.
