This will allow switch devices known to libinput to be exposed. Currently,
this is SW_LID.
libinput also handles switch events internally, e.g. a laptop touchpad will
be disabled autmoatically when the lid is closed. This is transparent to
the caller, although the caller will also receive the event. See
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86223
This features is intended to be the main driver for the interface.

No effect so far because the dist-hook prevents us from making a tarball
without the sources anyway. But for correctness split the two up.

Quite a few bugs are caused by touchpad ranges being out of whack. If we get
input events significantly outside the expected range (5% width/height as
error margin) print a warning to the log.
And add a new doc page to explain what is happening and how to fix it.

If a touch moves by more than 20mm within a single frame, reset the motion
history, effectively discarding the movement. This is a relatively common bug
and almost always needs a kernel fix, so add an explanatory page to the docs.

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.

This is just the required framework, it's not hooked up to anything just yet.
Hooking it up comes as separate commit to better detail why/when a device
supports emulation.

Fake proximity events are context dependent and libinput doesn't have access
to the context. For example, fake proximity on the Wacom mouse is only required
in relative mode - but whether to use relative or absolute events is decided
in the caller.
Document what the recommended approach is since it's a bit quirky and leave it
at that.

This moves some information from the wiki into the main generated doxygen
documenation. It is fairly rought but includes examples for inline and
stand-alone diagrams, linking to external HTML pages, etc.
Among other things, it allows for better cross-referencing into the
main doxygen contents and thus for overall shorter documentation.

doxygen supports markdown so we can expand the README with general interesting
information in markdown format and have it be the front page of the
documentation at the same time.
This requires renaming README to README.txt, but that's a relatively small
price to pay.

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.
