Doing so means we can ditch the specific input list for doxygen and just copy
all files over into our builddir/doc/ subdir, then use that subdirectory as
input data.
This relies on meson putting a subdir() into a subdirectory in the build
directory. This isn't technically guaranteed but I also suspect that if meson
ever changes that, lots of other projects will break. Even in that case we
should build just fine since we now filter for *.h and *.dox and don't copy
any other doxygen-commented files into the builddir anyway.

Measuring the trackpoint range has not shown to be sufficient or precise
enough to be used as an ingredient for trackpoint acceleration. So let's just
switch back to a generic multiplier that we can apply to the input deltas do
undo any device-specific lack of scaling.

This gets rid of the trackpoint range propery that we've been parsing until
now and instead just opts for a basic curve with some deceleration for low
pressure. The speed range is taken from the touchpad and should be wide enough
for most trackpoints that fall within the expected range.
Trackpoints like the new ALPS ones need to be configured through a hwdb (this
part is currently missing).

The libinput/doc/latest is now built automatically from git, so it's good to
have a reference to show which commit it was being built from. Add a section
to the readme with git commit information that is replaced by meson.

Slightly more obvious than just "html". Main motivation here is that we want
to provide the documentation as artifact from GitLab's CI, so having it unzip
to something slightly more meaningful makes sense.

Previously, we had all extra device information ("This is an Apple Touchpad",
"This touchpad causes pointer jumps", etc.) in the udev hwdb. The problem with
the hwdb is that updating it is nontrivial for the average user and debugging
when things go wrong is even harder. Plus, the hwdb has a matching scheme that
is unpredictable unless one is familiar with the implementation.
This patch set moves the hwdb entries into .ini style text files, with a
simple line-based parser. A new libinput list-quirks tool can list the quirks
applied to any given device, in --verbose mode it prints all matches as they
apply or not apply.
The data files are currently unused by libinput, that comes in a later patch.
They're installed though, the defaults point to the /usr/share/libinput
directory and for *temporary* local overrides the single file
/etc/libinput/local-overrides.quirks.
Failure to parse any file is a hard failure for the quirks system, but if the
local override file doesn't exist that's fine.
THIS IS NOT A CONFIGURATION INTERFACE! None of these settings are exposed via
the libinput_device_config_* calls. There is no API guarantee for these files,
think of them as source code.

The GitLab migrations means that bugs should now be reported there
rather than Bugzilla. Though the repository is still available via
anongit, cloning through GitLab allows use of HTTPS.
All freedesktop.org URLs are also preferentially served over HTTPS

This seems to give me roughly the same behaviour as macos does on the default
0 speed setting.
* Default speed is lower than before by around 30% [1]
* Acceleration kicks in much sooner (130mm/s vs 250mm/s before)
* Acceleration kicks in slower at lower speeds, so the change from 130mm/s to
150mm/s is less than that of 320mm/s to 350mm/s
* The effect of the speed setting is a wide-range constant (de|ac)celeration
[2], which means:
* The unaccelerated baseline up until the threshold now changes with the
speed setting
* The threshold is now the same for all speeds
* The range of the speed setting should now easily cover all desired device
speeds.
* Acceleration is steeper at higher speeds
* Deceleration was left as-is.
[1] This may or may not fix the jumping pointer issues caused by the previous
high defaults. When you have high default acceleration you move the finger
slower. This slow movement caused some touchpads (mostly seen on Lenovos) to
create pointer jumps. These weren't seen on synaptics previously because of a
combination of higher user finger speed (thus not triggering the bug) or just
not being as obvious (2px jump vs 10 px jump).
[2] The speed setting is actually a curve, the closer you get to 1.0 the more
difference you see between two different values. The curve's points are:
-1/0, 0/1, 1/5, so the resolution is closer for slow speeds. We still have
double resolution on the setting though so you'll find what you want.

This looked good on paper but clearly no-one (including myself) ever tested this
in a real-life situation or they would've noticed that the constant factor is
missing, causing a segfault on the first two-finger scroll event, touchpad
gesture or button scrolling.
Adding the constant factor makes the API much worse and the benefit is
unclear, so out of the window it goes. We can revisit this for libinput 1.12
but this isn't going to make the next release.
This reverts commit d8bd650540.

Well, I say "measure" but really at this point it just reads the
properties/axes and then does it's best to auto-generate a hwdb entry that
matches the user's hardware and sets a fuzz value on the device. Ideally this
reduces the number of hand-holding required in bugzillas. There are plenty of
things that can go wrong, so our fallback is still to throw up our hands and
point to the documentation.

This adds a third profile to the available profiles to map device-specific
speed to an acceleration factor, fully defined by the caller.
There has been a consistent call for different acceleration profiles in
libinput, but very little specifics in what actually needs to be changed.
"faster horses" and whatnot (some notable exceptions in e.g. bug 101139).
Attempts to change the actual acceleration function will likely break things
for others.
This approach opens up the profile itself to a user-specific acceleration
curve. A caller can set an acceleration curve by defining a number of points
on that curve to map input speed to an output factor. That factor is applied
to the input delta.
libinput does relatively little besides mapping the deltas to the
device-specific speed, querying the curve for that speed and applying that
factor. The curve is device-specific, the input speed is in device units/ms.

We expected the first event after TAPPED to be a finger down. If that finger
has been recognised as palm, the finger state isn't TOUCH_BEGIN so we get an
invalid state in our FSM.

A set of wireless devices that can scramble the timestamps, so we get
press/release within 8ms even though I doubt the user is capable of doing
this. Since they're generally good quality anyway, let's just disable
debouncing on those until someone complains and we need something more
sophisticated.

This looks like a libinput bug (well, it does say "libinput bug" on the
package) but it hasn't been that for a long time. The cause is almost always
insufficient motivation to call libinput_dispatch() by the caller, or at least
not doing it with the celerity libinput demands (and deserves, if I may say
so).
Up-, down- or side-grade it to a client bug, so the outrage can be
directed elsewhere, preferably away from me. And add a section to the
documentation, just in case someone actually reads this stuff.

Sequences to trigger:
- spurious debouncing is enabled
- release a button in IS_DOWN state -> RELEASE_DELAYED
- short timeout triggers RELEASE_WAITING
If a button press now comes before the long timeout expires, we transition to
MAYBE_SPURIOUS where the long timeout may expire. In that case we should
transition to pressed state again.
