We already ignored modifiers for dwt. Now we also ignore modifier + key
combinations, i.e. hitting Ctrl+s to save does not trigger dwt, the touchpad
remains immediately usable.
However, if dwt is already active and a modifier combination is pressed, dwt
remains active, i.e. while typing, a shift + key does not disable dwt.

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.

Resetting the motion history has the side-effect of swallowing movements, we
don't calculate deltas until we have 4 motion events. During a finger release,
we're likely to get a large pressure change between two events, resetting the
motion history prevents the cursor from jumping on release.
The value of 7 found by trial-and-error, tested on the T440 and T450 hardware.
The absolute value is highly variable but recordings show that the pressure
changes only by 1 or 2 units during normal interaction. Higher pressure
changes are during finger position changes but since those should not cause a
jump anyway, we tend to win there too.
Currently only enabled for negative pressure changes, let's see how we go with
that.

The touchpad's sensors are too far apart (or the firmware interferes), causing
in a jerky movement visible especially on slow motion. We get a bunch of
normal motion events, then only ABS_MT_PRESSURE updates without x/y updates.
After about one mm of movement x/y updates resume, with the first event
covering the distance between the last motion event. That event is usually
accelerated and thus causes a large jump. Subsequent events are sufficiently
fine-grained again.
This patch counts the number of non-motion events. Once we hit 10 in a row, we
mark the first motion update as non-dirty, effectively discarding the motion
and thus stopping the pointer jumps.

We previously used the half-way mark of the touchpad's y axis to decide where
to ignore tapping. Move this down to the top edge of the software buttons
instead. Users may tap with a finger in the software button areas, on the rest
of the touchpad it's unlikely that they tap within 5% of the edge.
On touchpads with physical buttons or if clickfinger is enabled, the
no-tapping zone extends to the bottom of the touchpad. This required splitting
the tests into clickfinger, softbuttons and hardbuttons.

If a key enables dwt and is held down when the timeout expires, re-issue the

There is a corner case where dwt may not work as expected:
1. key down and held down
2. dwt timer expires, dwt is re-issued
3. touch starts
4. key is released
5. dwt timer expires
6. touch now starts moving the pointer
This is an effect of the smart touch detection. A touch starting after the
last key press is released for pointer motion once dwt turns off again. This
is what happens in the above case, the dwt timer expiring is the last virtual
key press. This is a corner case and likely hard to trigger by a real user.

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.

The following sequence currently generates a right-button event:
finger 1 down
finger 2 down
finger 1 up
finger 2 held down
This is easily triggered with short scroll events. There are two issues here:
first is that the tapping code elsewhere treats any tap with a second finger
down as a left-button tap, not a right button one. So if anything, we should
generate a left button click here, not a right button click.
Arguably, generating a button click here is wrong though, it's not a very well
defined sequence and relatively difficult to trigger intentionally. So the
best solution here is to simply ignore the release event and move straight
back to state HOLD - unless the second finger is released within the timeout.
If the finger is set down again during the timeout, we move straight to
TOUCH_2_HOLD - this could eventually be interpreted as a tap, but not for now.

For short and quick scroll gestures, those that should only trigger a few
lines of scroll the pointer acceleration is wildly unpredictable. Since we
average the motion of both fingers it's hard enough to intuitively predict
what the motion will be like. On top of that is the small threshold before we
start scrolling, so some of the initial motion gets swallowed before we
accelerate, making the next motion even more unpredictable.
The end result is that multiple seemingly identical finger motions cause
wildly different scroll motion.
Drop pointer acceleration for two-finger and edge scrolling. This makes short
scroll motions much more predictable and doesn't seem to have much effect on
long scroll motions. Plus, in natural scroll mode it really feels like the
content is stuck to your fingers now. Go wash your hands.

Not all multi-finger touchpads are able to reliably produce gestures, so make
it optional. This patch just adds a boolean (currently always true) that gets
set on touchpad init time, i.e. it is not run-time configurable.
Three and four-finger gestures are filtered out in gesture_notify(), if the
cap isn't set the event is discarded.
For two-finger gestures we prevent a transition to PINCH, so we don't
inadvertently detect a pinch gesture and then not send events. This way, a 2fg
gesture is always scroll.

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.

All touchpad recordings seen so far show that a value above 100 is definitely
a thumb or a palm. Values below are harder to discern, and the same isn't true
for touchpads supporting ABS_PRESSURE instead of ABS_MT_PRESSURE.
The handling of a touch is as outlined in tp_thumb_detect:
* thumbs are ignored for pointer motion
* thumbs cancel gestures
* thumbs are ignored for clickfinger count
* edge scrolling doesn't care either way
* software buttons don't care either way
* tap: only if thumb on begin
The handling of thumbs while tapping is the simplest approach only, more to
come in follow-up patches.
Note that "thumb" is the synonym for "this touch is too big to be a
fingertip". Which means that a light thumb touch will still be counted as a
finger. The side-effect here is that thumbs resting a the bottom edge of the
touchpad will almost certainly not trigger the pressure threshold because
most of the thumb is off the touchpad.

This simply doesn't work for low-dpi mice. Normalizing a 400dpi mouse to a
1000dpi mouse forces a minimum movement of 2.5 units and the resulting pixel
jumps. It is impossible for the caller to detect whether the jump was caused
by a single motion or multiple motion events.
This is technically an API break, but not really.
The accelerated data was already relatively meaningless, even if normalized as
the data did not correspond predictably to any input motion (unless you know
the implementation acceleration function in the caller). So we can drop the
mention from there without expecting any ill effects in the caller.
The unaccelerated data was useless for low-dpi mice and could only be used to
measure the physical distance of the mouse movement - something not used in
any caller we're aware of (if needed, we can add that functionality as a
separate call). Dropping motion normalization for unaccelerated deltas also
restores true dpi capabilities to users of that API, mostly games that want to
make use of high-dpi mice.
This is a simplified patch, the normalization is still in place for most of
libinput, it merely carries the original coordinates in the event itself.
In the case of touchpads, the coordinates are unnormalized into the x-axis
coordinate space as per the documentation.

The touchpad is disabled for 500ms after a trackpoint event to avoid
erroneous palm touches. This is currently refreshed on every trackpoint event
and thus forces a delay of 500ms when switching between the two.
Instead, reduce the timeout to 300ms but ignore any touches started while the
trackpoint was active (i.e. before the last trackpoint event). A touch started
after the last event is released once the timeout expires.
This is the same logic used for disable-while-typing.

On touchpads with resolutions, use a 5mm motion threshold before we unpin the
finger (allow motion events while a clickpad button is down). This should
remove any erroneous finger movements while clicking, at the cost of having to
move the finger a bit more for a single-finger click-and-drag (use two fingers
already!)
And drop the finger drifting, it was per-event based rather than time-based.
So unless the motion threshold was hit in a single event it was possible to
move the finger around the whole touchpad without ever unpinning it.
Drop the finger drifting altogether, if the touchpad drifts by more than 5mm

Be smarter about this: if a touch starts _after_ the last key press event,
release it for pointer motion once the timeout expires. Touches started before
the last key press remain labelled as palms. This makes it possible to rest
the palm on the touchpad while typing without getting interference but also
