The touchpad top softbuttons such as found on the Lenove T440 are intended for
use with the trackstick. Route their events through the trackstick, so that
they can be used for e.g. middle button scrolling with the trackstick.
Note that sending top button events to a disabled trackpoint makes no sense
(and will mess up internal state). Likely a user with a disabled trackpoint
will still expect the top buttons to work, so rather than not sending events
in that case, simply treat a suspendeded trackpoint as not being there, and
send the events directly from the touchpad device.

The original intention of this state was to prevent an accidental move out of
the bottom software button to start moving the cursor. That ends up actually
preventing a number of normal moves that start low enough. Simply drop the
state.

Add support for the top softbutton area found on some laptops.
For details of how this works, see the updated
doc/touchpad-softbutton-state-machine.svg diagram.
Basically this mirrors the state-machine for the bottom softbutton area, with
one exception, if a finger stays at least inner timeout milliseconds in the
top button area and then moves out of it, it will be ignored rather then
become the pointer. This is done so that people using the top buttons together
with a trackstick and accidentally move their finger out of the upper area
don't get spurious pointer movements from the finger on the trackpad.
This behavior is indentical to xf86-input-synaptics, which also ignores
movements from touches which start in the top button area.

Almost all non Apple touchpads have visible markings for software button areas,
so limit clickfinger behavior to Apple clickpads, and implement software button
areas for others.
This is a slightly fancier implementation than the simplest model and ported
over from libtouchpad. It implements a state machine for the software buttons
with left and right buttons currently implemented. Buttons are oriented
left-to-right, in a horizontal bar. No random button placement allowed.
In general, the procedure is:
- if a finger sets down in the left button area, a click is a left click
- if a finger sets down in the right button area, a click is a right click
- if a finger leaves the button area, a click is a left click
- if a finger starts outside the button area, a click is a left click
Two timeouts are used to handle buttons more smoothly:
- if a finger sets down in a button area but "immediately" moves over
to a different area, that area takes effect on a click.
- if a finger leaves a button area and "immediately" clicks or moves back into
the area, the button still takes effect on a click.
- if a finger changes between areas and stays there for a timeout, that area
takes effect on a click.
Note the button area states are named BOTTOM_foo to make it easier to later
add support for a top button area such as can be found on the Thinkpad [2-5]40
series.
