This adds the public API to configure an eraser button on a tablet tool
to emulate a normal button. In DEFAULT mode the eraser button will
simply do whatever it does by default (i.e. toggle to eraser).
In BUTTON mode the eraser button will be converted to a regular tool
button event, with libinput handling the underlying proximity event
madness.

This adds the configuration option to define a rectangle that serves as
an input area on external tablets such as an Intuos.
The intention behind this is to make this input area behave as if it was
the only physical input area on this tablet with libinput emulating
proximity events as required for where the tools moves in and out
of this area.
This could also be achieved with the existing calibration setting but
area configuration is not calibration and we don't want to expose other
side-effects of the matrix (e.g. scaling and rotation) for these
devices.

Adds a dedicated scroll movement type to the custom acceleration profile.
Supported by physical mouse and touchpad.
Other profiles remain the same by using the same unaccelerated filter for the scroll filter.

The custom acceleration profile allow the user to define custom
acceleration functions for each movement type per device, giving
full control over accelerations behavior at different speeds.
This commit introduces 2 movement types which corresponds to the
2 profiles currently in use by libinput.
regular filter is Motion type.
constant filter is Fallback type.
This allows possible expansion of new movement types for the
different devices.
The custom pointer acceleration profile gives the user full control over the
acceleration behavior at different speeds.
The user needs to provide a custom acceleration function f(x) where
the x-axis is the device speed and the y-axis is the pointer speed.
The user should take into account the native device dpi and screen dpi in
order to achieve the desired behavior/feel of the acceleration.
The custom acceleration function is defined using n points which are spaced
uniformly along the x-axis, starting from 0 and continuing in constant steps.
There by the points defining the custom function are:
(0 * step, f[0]), (1 * step, f[1]), ..., ((n-1) * step, f[n-1])
where f is a list of n unitless values defining the acceleration
factor for each velocity.
When a velocity value does not lie exactly on those points, a linear
interpolation of the two closest points will be calculated.
When a velocity value is greater than the max point defined, a linear
extrapolation of the two biggest points will be calculated.

Scroll button locking is an accessibility feature. When enabled, the scroll
button does not need to be held down, the first click holds it logically down,
to be released on the second click of that same button.
This is implemented as simple event filter, so we still get the same behavior
from the emulated logical button, i.e. a physical double click results in a
single logical click of that button provided no scrolling was triggered.

All configuration options will only apply to the device with the given match
mattern. This makes it easier to test things like tapping on one device but
not on the other.
Exception is the sendevents pattern which applies independently.

This is the most common use-case other than "all from udev", so let's just
parse a device path correctly without requiring --device.

This looked good on paper but clearly no-one (including myself) ever tested this
in a real-life situation or they would've noticed that the constant factor is
missing, causing a segfault on the first two-finger scroll event, touchpad
gesture or button scrolling.
Adding the constant factor makes the API much worse and the benefit is
unclear, so out of the window it goes. We can revisit this for libinput 1.12
but this isn't going to make the next release.
This reverts commit d8bd650540.

This adds a third profile to the available profiles to map device-specific
speed to an acceleration factor, fully defined by the caller.
There has been a consistent call for different acceleration profiles in
libinput, but very little specifics in what actually needs to be changed.
"faster horses" and whatnot (some notable exceptions in e.g. bug 101139).
Attempts to change the actual acceleration function will likely break things
for others.
This approach opens up the profile itself to a user-specific acceleration
curve. A caller can set an acceleration curve by defining a number of points
on that curve to map input speed to an output factor. That factor is applied
to the input delta.
libinput does relatively little besides mapping the deltas to the
device-specific speed, querying the curve for that speed and applying that
factor. The curve is device-specific, the input speed is in device units/ms.

Make the libinput page more generic but suitable for short attention spans and
most importantly, point to the xf86-input-libinput man page in a more obvious
manner since we're now shadowing that.
The rest of the man pages have punctuation and formatting cleanups only.

Rebuild the same binary but without the special LDFLAG. The event-debug tool
is left as-is to allow for easy debugging with gdb, the new tool is now
libtool-enabled and can't be run directly in gdb without installing it first.
