The previous code used delta/event as scroll trigger which roughly translates
to speed, but depends on the sampling rate of the device.
For slow two-finger motion, a user may move the height of the touchpad without
ever triggering scrolling. Change the _initial_ trigger to a cumulative
trigger, i.e. once the user moved past the threshold distance, scrolling
starts regardless of the speed.
Once scrolling is engaged, the original trigger of threshold/event is
required to engange the second scroll direction.
Note that except for really slow movements, it's very easy to engage both
scroll directions on a touchpad. This is intentional, libinput does not have
enough semantic knowledge to know if horizontal scrolling is needed. So we
provide some direction locking but not much, it's up to the
client/toolkit/widget to decide if both scroll directions should be handled.
Add a comment to clarify that in the public doc.

Mark touches as idle, rather then dead, on release. This causes no functional

According to the diagram, we should only check the tap-touch-state before
sending a button press / release when in state touch_2 or touch_3.
tp_tap_notify always checks the tap-touch-state. This is problematic when in
state tapped, or one of the follow up states, since this could cause the
button 1 release to never happen.
In practice this is never a problem since the touch passed into tp_tap_notify
is NULL when called for timeout or button events, and in the 2 affected paths
where we're dealing with a touch or release tap-touch-state always is
TAP_TOUCH_STATE_TOUCH.
However we should not rely on this and properly follow the diagram, this
commit therefor drops the touch argument to tp_tap_notify, and adds explicit
tap-touch-state checks in the places where they are present in the diagram too.

The kernel requires absolute axes to fit into the semantic ABS_ naming
scheme but doesn't provide enough free bits unlabelled axes. Devices with many
axes run into the ABS_MT range and look like MT devices when they're not.
See http://www.freedesktop.org/software/libevdev/doc/1.3/group__mt.html
Affected is e.g. the MS Surface 2 touch cover that has codes [41, 62]
set for min/max [-127, 127].
No special handling needed other than forcing has_mt/has_touch to be 0.
ABS_MT_* events from non-touch devices are discarded by libinput.
The has_mt/has_touch = 0 isn't needed, but looks nicer than an empty if
body.

Before this commit the tap code deals with enabled being set to false,
by waiting for tap.state to become IDLE, and then ignoring any events from
that point on.
This causes a problem when enabled gets set to true again while fingers are
down, because when in IDLE no release events are expected, so once a release
event for one of the fingers is send, log_bug_libinput gets called.
This commit fixes this by making enabled use the same mechanism for enabled
state transitions as the tap suspend / resume code.

While e.g. disabling the touchpad while the trackpoint is used, we want to
stop sending tap (or scroll or motion) events. We cannot use tp_clear_state at
this time as that will also release any touchpad buttons pressed, breaking
dragging with the trackpoint using the touchpad or clickpad buttons.
Calling tp_release_all_taps() and then ensuring that we do not call
tp_tap_handle_state as long as the trackpoint is in use, is enough to disable
taps when the trackpoint is in use.
However when the trackpoint stops being used, we cannot simply start calling
tp_tap_handle_state() again, we first need to sync the tap.state to the current
reality, specifically if fingers are down it must be TAP_STATE_DEAD, so that
their releases do not trigger the log_bug_libinput on a release in
tp_tap_idle_handle_event.
Directly messing with tap.state from outside evdev-mt-touchpad-tap.c is not
good, so add tp_tap_suspend and tp_tap_resume functions for this.

Before this commit tp_release_all_taps would call tp_tap_handle_timeout, which
is a nop when in state DRAGGING. tp_clear_state then releases all touches and
calls touchpad_handle_state which moves the state to DRAGGING_WAIT, and the
button 1 release will only be done after the tap-timeout, rather then directly
as it should on tp_clear_state.
This commit fixes this by instead of calling tp_tap_handle_timeout, directly
releasing pressed buttons and switching to state DEAD or IDLE depending on
fingers_down.
Besides fixing this issue, this rewrite also makes it possible to use
tp_release_all_taps outside of tp_clear_state, which will be used to add
tap suspend / resume functionality in a follow up commit.

For features like e.g. disable-touchpad-while-typing, it is necessary for one
device to be able to listen into another device's events.
It is tempting to use the existing device_added / device_removed mechanism
to give e.g. the keyboard a link to the touchpad, and make the keyboard code
disable / re-enable the touchpad but this is wrong. This needs to be a setting
of the touchpad, and the policy for things like which events to count as
activity, and what sort of timeout to use to consider the device idle, belongs
in the touchpad code not in the keyboard code.
Add an event listeners mechanism so that the touchpad can listen for (e.g.)
keyboard events, and respond to these itself.

Note: with this API we commit to having any pointer accelerating as a true
gliding scale. We cannot map the [-1,1] range into a discrete set of steps
as we do not communicate to the caller whether a specific value has changed
the acceleration. Without that, a caller may assume that acceleration has

The acceleration curve consists of four parts, in ascii-art 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.
This patch adjusts the curve based on a [-1, 1] range. For anything below 0,
the plateau is longer (i.e. accel kicks in at a higher speed), the second
incline is flatter (i.e. accel kicks in slower) and the max accel factor is
lower (i.e. maximum speed is slower). For anything above 0, the inverse is
true, acceleration kicks in earlier, harder and is faster in general. So the
default/min/max curves overlaid look something like this:
________ max
| _______ default
| / _____ min
_|_/_/
/
/
Note that there's a limit to what ascii art can do...
Note that there are additional tweaks we can introduce later, such as
decreaseing the unaccelerated speed of the device (i.e. lowering the first
plateau).

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.
