The recent normalization of wheel events means we get the angle in degrees but
we don't know how this corresponds to clicks. The M325 has a 20 degree click
angle, most other mice have 15 degrees. So an angle of 60 can be 3 or 4 click
events.
Most clients care more about the click count than the angle on a mouse wheel.
Provide that value when needed.
Adding a discrete value to the axis event leaves the possibility of defining
discrete units for finger/continuous scroll sources in the future. Right now,
these will always reuturn 0.

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.

Original patch, before the rebase onto today's master:

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.

For certain applications (such as FPS games) it is necessary to use
unaccelerated motion events (the motion vector that is passed to the
acceleration filter) to get a more natural feeling. Supply this
information by passing both accelerated and unaccelerated motion
vectors to the existing motion event.
Note that the unaccelerated motion event is not equivalent to 'raw'
events as read from devices.

Add edge-scrolling support for non multi-touch touchpads as well as for
users who prefer edge-scrolling (as long as they don't have a clickpad).
Note the percentage to use of the width / height as scroll-edge differs from
one manufacturer to the next, the various per model percentages were taken
from xf86-input-synaptics.
