Some touchpads provide touch information while the finger hovers over the
touchpad, i.e. before BTN_TOUCH. Add a touch state for those touchpads so we
can ignore the touches until they actually start.
The approach is now: instead of BEGIN we mark a new touch as HOVERING.
Use the BTN_TOOL_FINGER, BTN_TOOL_DOUBLETAP information during
tp_process_state() to mark any touches that are hovering as down or ended.
i.e. provided BTN_TOUCH is down: if BTN_TOOL_FINGER is down, one hovering
touch gets marked as down, if DOUBLETAP is down, two touches are marked as
down, etc.
When ending touches, switch them back into HOVERING if the BTN_TOOL_FINGER
is still set, otherwise end them properly.

We need this for determining hovering touches on some semi-mt touchpads.
This makes the fake_touches mask use bit 0 for BTN_TOUCH, and the other bits
for BTN_TOOL_FINGER, BTN_TOOL_DOUBLETAP, etc. BTN_TOUCH is independent of the

Some devices require more than just flipping around the buttons, such as
tablets.
When it comes to devices like tablets, because the position of the palm rest is
on the right, the entire tablet has to be flipped around in order to be usable
by lefties. As such, this requires that we reverse the coordinates of the
tablets in addition to flipping the buttons on the tablet. As such, renaming
these functions so that they aren't specific to devices where only the buttons
are flipped seems appropriate.

For a caller to implement/provide kinetic scrolling ("inertial scrolling",
"fling scrolling"), it needs to know how the scrolling motion was implemented,
and what to expect in the future. Add this information to the pointer axis
event.
The three scroll sources we have are:
* wheels: scrolling is in discreet steps, you don't know when it ends, the
wheel will just stop sending events
* fingers: scrolling is continuous coordinate space, we know when it stops and
we can tell the caller
* continuous: scrolling is in continuous coordinate space but we may or may not
know when it stops. if scroll lock is used, the device may never technically
get out of scroll mode even if it doesn't send events at any given moment
Use case: trackpoint/trackball scroll emulation on button press
The stop event is now codified in the API documentation, so callers can use
that for kinetic scrolling. libinput does not implement kinetic scrolling
itself.
Not covered by this patch:
* The wheel event is currently defined as "typical mouse wheel step", this is
different to Qt where the step value is 1/8 of a degree. Some better
definition here may help.
* It is unclear how an absolute device would map into relative motion if the
device itself is not controlling absolute motion.
* For diagonal scrolling, the vertical/horizontal terminator events would come
in separately. The caller would have to deal with that somehow.

We use 2 mechanisms to unregister the trackpoint event listener depending on
device removal order.
1) We have a device_removed callback, if the trackpoint gets removed before
the touchpad, this gets called, sees the device being removed is the trackpoint
and unregisters the listener
2) If the touchpad gets removed first, then in tp_destroy we unregister the
listener
2) May be delayed beyond the destruction of the trackpoint itself if the
libinput user has a reference to the libinput_device for the touchpad.
When this happens the trackpoint still has an eventlistener at destroy time
and an assert triggers.
To fix this we must do 2) at the same time as we do 1), so at remove time.
While working on this I noticed that the touchpad code was also cancelling
timers at destroy time rather then remove time, which means that they may
expire between remove and destroy time, and cause events to be emitted from
a removed device, so this commit moves the cancelling of the timers to the
remove callback as well.

400 used to be the default DPI for many mice but it it's not anymore. A survey
of mice shows that 400 is still common as one of the pre-configured settings
in switchable multi-resolution gaming mice, but devices with a single
resolution mostly favor 1000 dpi.
Let's make that switch now so that any future changes to the pointer
acceleration code assumes that resolution as a default.
For the touchpad, this has a bad side-effect, caused by our expectation of
mouse vs touchpad behaviours: our acceleration code ignores device type and
provides the same acceleration for the same physical movement. Unfortunately,
we expect touchpads to be significantly slower than mice.
The previous 400 DPI worked because it caused an acceptable slowdown on input.
e.g. on the T440 with a res of 42 units/mm, the scale coefficient was 0.37.
For 1000 DPI as default, this now results in 0.94, i.e. speeding up the
touchpad by a factor of 2.5. That is way too fast.
Adding touchpad-specific filter code is a bigger project, so let's just add a
fixme for now and scale the coefficient back to what it was before the
DPI default change. Effect: touchpad behaves as before.

We ran a userstudy, evaluating three different accel methods. Detailed results are
available at:
http://www.who-t.net/publications/hutterer2014_libinput_ptraccel_study.pdf
We found that there was little difference between the method we had in
libinput 0.6 and this three-line function. Users didn't really notice a
difference, but measured data suggests that it has slight advantages in some
use-cases.
The method proposed here is the one labeled "linear" in the paper, its profile
looks roughly like this:
_____________
/
____/
/
/
where the x axis is the speed, y is the acceleration factor.
The first plateau is at the acceleration factor 1 (i.e. unaccelerated
movement), the second plateau is at the max acceleration factor. The threshold
in the code defines where and how long the plateau is.
Differences to the previous accel function:
- both inclines are linear rather than curved
- the second incline is less steep than the current method
From a maintainer's point-of-view, this function is significantly easier to
understand and manipulate than the previous one.
