Extend the touchpad gesture API with pinch gestures. Note that this
new API offers a single event stream for both pinch and rotate data, this
is deliberate as some applications may be interested in getting both at
the same time. Applications which are only interested in one or the other
can simply ignore the other.

For touchscreens we always send raw touch events to the compositor, and the
compositor or application toolkits do gesture recognition. This makes sense
because on a touchscreen which window / widget the touches are over is
important context to know to interpret gestures.
On touchpads however we never send raw events since a touchpad is an absolute
device which primary function is to send pointer motion delta-s, so we always
need to do processing (and a lot of it) on the raw events.
Moreover there is nothing underneath the finger which influences how to
interpret gestures, and there is a lot of touchpad and libinput configuration
specific context necessary for gesture recognition. E.g. is this a clickpad,
and if so are softbuttons or clickfinger used? What is the size of the
softbuttons? Is this a true multi-touch touchpad or a semi multi-touch touchpad
which only gives us a bounding box enclosing the fingers? Etc.
So for touchpads it is better to do gesture processing in libinput, this commit
adds an initial implementation of a Gesture event API which only supports swipe
gestures, other gestures will be added later following the same model wrt,
having clear start and stop events and the number of fingers involved being
fixed once a gesture sequence starts.

In some applications, notably Inkscape, where it is common to frequently drag
objects a short distance the default to drag-lock always-on is frustrating for
users.
Make it configurable, with the current default to "on".
New API:
libinput_device_config_tap_set_drag_lock_enabled
libinput_device_config_tap_get_drag_lock_enabled
libinput_device_config_tap_get_default_drag_lock_enabled
Any device capable of tapping is capable of drag lock, there is no explicit
availability check for drag lock. Configuration is independent, drag lock may
be enabled when tapping is disabled.
In the tests, enable/disable drag-lock explicitly where the tests depend
on it.

Similar to libinput_device_pointer_has_button(), this function returns whether
a given device has a specific keycode.
This enables a caller to determine if the device is really a keyboard (check
for KEY_A-KEY_Z) or just a media key device (check for KEY_PLAY or somesuch),
depending on the context required.

Adds the following quartett of functions to enable/disable middle mouse button
emulation on a device:
libinput_device_config_middle_emulation_is_available()
libinput_device_config_middle_emulation_set_enabled()
libinput_device_config_middle_emulation_get_enabled()
libinput_device_config_middle_emulation_get_default_enabled()
This patch only adds the config framework, it is not hooked up to anything
yet.
Note: like other features this is merely the config option, some devices will
provide middle button emulation without exposing it as configuration. i.e. the
return value of libinput_device_config_middle_emulation_is_available() only
tells you whether you can _configure_ middle button emulation.

And merge all current API versions into the same block. This isn't technically
necessary since removing libinput_has_button from the code will remove it from
the exported list. That trips up test/symbols-leak-test though.
Since we break the API and bump the soname in this release anyway, move
to a single block so the initial stable API is all nicely grouped together.

Devices like Wacom tablets have multiple event nodes (touch, pad and stylus).
This requires some logical grouping, e.g. setting an Intuos 5 tablet
left-handed effectively turns it upside down. That then applies to both the
stylus and the touch device.
Merging the devices into one struct libinput_device is not feasable, it
complicates the API for little benefit. A caller would still need access to
all subdevices to get udev handles, etc. Some configuration options apply to
the whole device (left-handed) but some (may) only apply to a single subdevice
(calibration, natural scrolling).
Addressing this would make the libinput API unwieldly and hard to use.
Instead, add a device group concept. Each device is a member of a device
group - a singleton for most devices. Wacom tablets will have a single group
across multiple devices, allowing the caller to associate the devices together
if needed.
The API is intentionally very simple and requires the caller to keep track of
groups and which/how many devices are in it. The caller has more powerful
libraries available to do that than we have.
This patch does not address the actual merging of devices into the same
device group, it simply creates a new group for each new device.

Two methods are provided:
* button area - used on most clickpads, a click with a touch within a given
area generates left/middle/right clicks
* clickfinger - used on apple touchpads, a click with 1/2/3 fingers on the
touchpad generates a left, right, middle click
Both methods already exist in the touchpad code, this is just the
configuration interface.

Some devices require more than just flipping around the buttons, such as
tablets.
When it comes to devices like tablets, because the position of the palm rest is
on the right, the entire tablet has to be flipped around in order to be usable
by lefties. As such, this requires that we reverse the coordinates of the
tablets in addition to flipping the buttons on the tablet. As such, renaming
these functions so that they aren't specific to devices where only the buttons
are flipped seems appropriate.

This is merged on top of the wheel normalization patches. Those introduced an
axis source and an extra "discrete" value to the various internal and external
APIs. This branch changed from a single value to passing dx/dy into all scroll
events.
The conflicts are to change everything to take x, y, x_discrete, y_discrete as
values (and the source axis mask of course).
Conflicts:
src/evdev-mt-touchpad-edge-scroll.c
src/evdev.c
src/libinput-private.h
src/libinput.c
The recent normalization of wheel events means we get the angle in degrees but
we don't know how this corresponds to clicks. The M325 has a 20 degree click
angle, most other mice have 15 degrees. So an angle of 60 can be 3 or 4 click
events.
Most clients care more about the click count than the angle on a mouse wheel.
Provide that value when needed.
Adding a discrete value to the axis event leaves the possibility of defining
discrete units for finger/continuous scroll sources in the future. Right now,
these will always reuturn 0.

Sending separate axis events instead of one unified events is limiting,
especially when simultaneously scrolling in both directions and the caller
tries to implement kinetic scrolling.
Take a page from the tablet-support branch and instead implement the axis
event as a generic event that can contain multiple axes simultaneously.
Right now we only have two (scroll) axes and we could easily just check both
for non-zero values. If we want to allow further axes in the future, we need
a check whether an axis is set in an event, that's what
libinput_event_pointer_has_axis to scroll events() is for.
We also need the mask to notify of a scroll stop event, which could otherwise
be confused as a vertical-only or horizontal-only event.
This is an API and ABI break.

For a caller to implement/provide kinetic scrolling ("inertial scrolling",
"fling scrolling"), it needs to know how the scrolling motion was implemented,
and what to expect in the future. Add this information to the pointer axis
event.
The three scroll sources we have are:
* wheels: scrolling is in discreet steps, you don't know when it ends, the
wheel will just stop sending events
* fingers: scrolling is continuous coordinate space, we know when it stops and
we can tell the caller
* continuous: scrolling is in continuous coordinate space but we may or may not
know when it stops. if scroll lock is used, the device may never technically
get out of scroll mode even if it doesn't send events at any given moment
Use case: trackpoint/trackball scroll emulation on button press
The stop event is now codified in the API documentation, so callers can use
that for kinetic scrolling. libinput does not implement kinetic scrolling
itself.
Not covered by this patch:
* The wheel event is currently defined as "typical mouse wheel step", this is
different to Qt where the step value is 1/8 of a degree. Some better
definition here may help.
* It is unclear how an absolute device would map into relative motion if the
device itself is not controlling absolute motion.
* For diagonal scrolling, the vertical/horizontal terminator events would come
in separately. The caller would have to deal with that somehow.
