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.

The lenovo compact keyboard with trackpoint has a sensitivity of 5, which
causes the trackpoint range to be 0. This in turn causes inf/NaN during
pointer acceleration as we divide by 0 and makes the cursor go unpredictably
somewhere it probably shouldn't be.
This is part of a wider problem in that the current sensitivity handling
doesn't work well for values well below the default of 128. Any such values
are scaled up to multiples of pixels instead of just working as-is.
Reverting the automatic sensitivity parsing, any systemd udev property set to
change the sensitivity increases it, so we don't run into this bug.

This reverts commit a4036a33ca.
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.

Rather than going the roundabout way of having systemd set the sensitivity
followed by us reading that udev property and hoping, just take the
sensitivity directly from sysfs. This makes us basically independent of what
systemd does (or the lack of systemd, where that is a problem).
It does remove the chance of users to trick libinput by manually adjusting the
sensitivity after the udev rules kicked in, but seriously, we should work on
fixing acceleration properly in that case.

Not really an issue at this point, but some HID devices like sending
MSC_TIMESTAMP. Since we don't use them in libinput, all we do is drag
ourselves out of sleep, look at the event, frown because it's not our morning
coffee, and go back to sleep. Instead, disable the code altogether, libevdev
will mask it transparently and then the kernel will let us sleep.

This makes it possible for callers to detect whether a touch device is
single or multitouch (or even check for things like dual-touch vs real
multi-touch) and adjust the interface accordingly.
Note that this is for touch devices only, not touchpads that are just pointer
devices.

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.

This device randomly decides that a touch is now a palm, based on
the moon phase, the user's starsign and possibly what the dog had for
breakfast. Since libinput assumes that a touchpad that labels a touch as palm
has reasons to do so, let's unassume this for this device by disabling that
axis altogether and relying on the touch pressure only.

When the X1 Yoga is in tablet mode, one capacitative touch button (windows
key, sends KEY_LEFTMETA) and two side volume buttons are accessible on the
front. The key event comes through the internal keyboard that we disabled in
tablet mode so it stops working.
Luckily the Yoga physically disables the "main" keyboard when in tablet mode,
so all we have to do is skip our code to disable the keyboard and the keys are
working again.

This is an external keyboard+touchpad but not recognised as touchpad by the
kernel so it's in mouse emulation mode. Double-taps are sent with impossibly
close timestamps and filtered out by the debouncing code. Since this isn't a
real button that can wear out anyway, let's just disable debouncing on this
device.

The kernel fuzz handling is buggy, especially when we want to rely on the fuzz
value for our hysteresis. But since this is a hw property and (at least
sometimes) set by the driver, we can't make this a pure libinput hwdb set
either.
So our workaround is:
* extract the (non-zero) fuzz into a udev property so we don't lose it
* set the fuzz to 0 to disable the in-kernel hysteresis
* overwrite our internal absinfo with the property fuzz
This way we get to use the hw-specified fuzz without having the kernel muck
around with it. We also get to use the EVDEV_ABS_ values in 60-evdev.hwdb to
override a driver-set fuzz.
Two drawbacks:
- we're resetting the kernel fuzz to 0, this affects any other users of the
device node. That's probably a minor impact only.
- we can only save this in a udev property there's a risk of this information
getting lost when playing around with udev rules. That too should be a minor
issue.

When drawing on a tablet, the hand usually rests on the device, causing touch
events. The kernel arbitrates for us in most cases, so we get a touch up
and no events while the stylus is in proximity. When lifting the hand off in a
natural position, the hand still touches the device when the pen goes out of
proximity. This is 'immediately' followed by the hand lifting off the device.
When kernel pen/touch arbitration is active, the pen proximity out causes a
touch begin for the hand still on the pad. This is followed by a touch up when
the hand lifts which happens to look exactly like a tap-to-click.
Fix this by delaying the 'arbitration is now off' toggle, causing any touch
that starts immediately after proximity out to be detected as palm and
ignored for its lifetime.

Previously we only listened for events on the first one to come up, based on
the assumption that there can only be one internal keyboard. The Razer Blade
laptop keyboards come with with multiple event nodes, all looking like a
normal keyboard. The one that comes up first is one for special keys, so
typing on the internal keyboard after a lid switch does not toggle the write
state.
Fix this by allowing for up to 3 keyboard listeners for a lid switch.

Avoid processing an event with a time later than the earliest timer expiry. If
libinput_dispatch() isn't called frequently enough, we may have e.g. a tap
timeout happening but read a subsequent input event first. In that case we can
erroneously trigger or miss out on taps, see wrong palm detection, etc.

On some devices with a tablet mode switch, the touchpad is inacessible when
in tablet mode and we don't really need this except to avoid possible ghost
touches (none have been mentioned so far). On other devices like the Lenovo
Yoga, the touchpad points to the back of the device and it's hard to use the
device without accidentally using the touchpad. For those, disabling the
touchpad is the best solution.

This was originally designed to deal with devices that only have SW_LID. But
it can be moved into the evdev interface to avoid duplication once we have
SW_TABLET_MODE. The original assumption of the lid switch device being a
standalone device with no other switches is not true, having a separate
dispatch hurts us here.
