There are a number of use-cases where tapping may be desirable, but
tap-and-drag is not, e.g. where tapping is used to select multiple items in a
list. Having tap-and-drag on hinders this, and the nature of the interaction
means it cannot be detected based on timeouts, movement thresholds, etc.
Provide an option instead to turn tap-an-drag off. Tap-and-drag remains
enabled by default (though tapping is disabled by default).
For the touchpad tap state diagram, the new option disables the transition
from state TOUCH to state TAPPED and releases the button immediately instead.
This means that multitap-and-drag is disabled too since we now just loop
around in the single-tap state for multitap.
It also makes tapping more responsive - we don't have to wait for the timeout
before we know whether it's a tap event. The first touch time is noted, we now
send the button press with the time of the first touch and the release with
the time of the release. This ensures a realistic time diff between the two
events.

In some applications, notably Inkscape, where it is common to frequently drag
objects a short distance the default to drag-lock always-on is frustrating for
users.
Make it configurable, with the current default to "on".
New API:
libinput_device_config_tap_set_drag_lock_enabled
libinput_device_config_tap_get_drag_lock_enabled
libinput_device_config_tap_get_default_drag_lock_enabled
Any device capable of tapping is capable of drag lock, there is no explicit
availability check for drag lock. Configuration is independent, drag lock may
be enabled when tapping is disabled.
In the tests, enable/disable drag-lock explicitly where the tests depend
on it.

Currently for the tap-and-drag gesture to end user has to wait for a
timeout to expire. Make it possible to end the drag gesture by just tapping.
The allowed finger sequences to start and end a drag are thus:
tap, down, .... move ...., up <wait for timeout>
tap, down, .... move ...., up, tap
