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, on touch toggle (invoked by the tablet when a pen goes in
proximity) the touchpad cleared the state and ignored any events. Since we
ignore touches that we didn't see the touch begin for, this handled the cases
of a touch remaining after proximity out.
This code pre-dates palm detection, so let's take the bluetack off and instead
integrate it with proper palm detectino.
If a single-touch touchpad drops below the pressure threshold in the same
frame where a fake finger is added, we begin a fake touch here. The subsequent
loop ends this fake touch because real_fingers_down is 0.
This causes the tapping code to have a mismatch of how many fingers are down
because it never sees the touch begin event for that finger.

Previously, touchpad deltas were converted to 1000-dpi normalized coordinates
and handled from there. This changed in bdd4264d61 (1.6)
when the filter functions started taking device coordinates instead. Since
then, we used to convert the device delta to normalized coordinates, then
(often immediately) convert back to device coordinates, albeit for equal x/y
resolution. This isn't necessary, we can just convert the device coordinates
to x/y-equal resolution device coordinates and pass those on.

On the very first event, the last_motion_time set by tp_begin_touch is not yet
set because we are called before the pressure-based touch detection takes
effect. And any event timestamp is more than 80ms after a zero timestamp,
causing the hysteresis to always be disabled.

Unlike the already-existing thumb detection, a touch may be labelled palm at
any time, not just during the initial touch down. This requires full
integration into the tap state machine to unwind properly. For most states, a
palm detection simply ignores the finger and reverts to the most recent state.
One exception is the case of two fingers down, one finger up followed by the
remaining finger detected as a palm finger. This triggers a single-finger tap
but with timestamps that may be from the wrong finger. Since we're within a
short tap timeout anyway this should not matter too much.
The special state PALM_UP is only handled in one condition (DEAD). Once a
touch is a palm we basically skip over it from then on. If we end up in the
DEAD state after a button press we still need to handle the palm up events
accordingly to be able to return to IDLE. That transition also requires us to
have an accurate count of the real fingers down (palms don't count) so we need
a separate nfingers_down counter for tapping.

Touchpads that require the hysteresis do not have filtering in the firmware
and holding a finger still causes continuous cursor movements. This implies
that we get a continuous stream of events with motion data.
If the finger is on the touchpad but we don't see any motion, the finger is
stationary and the touchpad firmware does filtering. In that case, we don't
need to add a hysteresis on top.

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.

Calculate the speed of the touch and compare it against a fixed speed limit.
If a touch exceeds the speed when a second touch is set down, that second
touch is marked as a thumb and ignored (unless it's right next to the other
finger, then it's likely a 2fg scroll).
The speed calculation is simple but has to lag behind by one sample - we reset
the motion history whenever a new finger is set down (to avoid pointer jumps)
so we need to know if the finger was moving fast *before* this happens. Plus,
with the pointer jumps we're more likely to get false positives if we
calculate the speed on actual finger down.
This is the simplest version for now, the speed varies greatly between
movements and should probably be averaged across the last 3-or-so samples.

Apple touchpads don't use ABS_MT_PRESSURE but they are multitouch touchpads,
so the current pressure-based handling code doesn't apply because it expects
slot-based pressure for mt touchpads.
Apple does however send useful data for ABS_MT_WIDTH_MAJOR/MINOR, so let's use
that instead. The data provided in those is more-or-less random, so we need a
hwdb entry to track the acceptable thresholds.

If the touchpad is suspended and resumed (e.g. lid switch), the initial slot
state may be out of sync. If a touch happened while the touchpad was suspended
and the next touch down is on exactly the same x and/or y coordinate, our
touch point would still have the coordinates of the most recently seen touch
(i.e. before touchpad suspend). This could cause a pointer jump or test case
failures.
The real-world impact of this is minimal, putting the finger down in exactly
the same spot is virtually impossible. It could cause a test case failure in the
lid_disable_touchpad() test though, the second touch sequence was on the same
y coordinate and the touch location for that whole sequence was x/0.

If a touch goes past the fixed pressure threshold it is labelled as a palm and
stays a palm. Default value is one that works well here on a T440 and is
virtually impossible to trigger by a normal finger or thumb. A udev property
is exposed so we can handle this in the udev hwdb and the new tool introduce a
few commits ago can help finding the palm detection threshold.
Unlike the other palm detection features, once a palm goes past the threshold
it remains a palm until the touch is released. This means palm overrides any
other palm detection features. For code simplicity, we don't combine the
states but merely check for pressure before and after the other palm detection
functions. If the pressure triggers, it will trigger before anything else. And
if something else is already active (e.g. edge where the pressure doesn't work
well) it will trigger as soon as the palm is released.
The palm threshold should thus be chosen with some room to spare between the
highest finger pressure.

We have heuristics for detecting whether a keyboard is internal or external,
but in some cases (e.g. Surface 3) these heuristics fail. Add a udev property
that we can apply to these cases so we have something that's reliable.
This will likely eventually become ID_INPUT_KEYBOARD_INTEGRATION as shipped by
systemd, similar to the touchpad property.
