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.

The libinput device abstracts a number of things but sometimes the underlying
device is important. The udev device provides the necessary handle to access
that underlying device and various sysfs properties that may be necessary.
A function returning the device node would've done the same thing but is more
prone to race conditions than the udev_device.

In some cases the compositor will want to know which buttons a device has.
E.g. for scrolling we want the compositor to be able to set a button to change
a relative device (e.g. a trackball) into scroll mode, so that it sends
scroll-axis events instead of pointer motion events.
In order for the compositor to be able to present a sane UI for this, it needs
to know which buttons a device has.

The previous code used delta/event as scroll trigger which roughly translates
to speed, but depends on the sampling rate of the device.
For slow two-finger motion, a user may move the height of the touchpad without
ever triggering scrolling. Change the _initial_ trigger to a cumulative
trigger, i.e. once the user moved past the threshold distance, scrolling
starts regardless of the speed.
Once scrolling is engaged, the original trigger of threshold/event is
required to engange the second scroll direction.
Note that except for really slow movements, it's very easy to engage both
scroll directions on a touchpad. This is intentional, libinput does not have
enough semantic knowledge to know if horizontal scrolling is needed. So we
provide some direction locking but not much, it's up to the
client/toolkit/widget to decide if both scroll directions should be handled.
Add a comment to clarify that in the public doc.

For conditional touchpad disabling we need two pieces of knowledge: is the
device an internal touchpad and is another device an external mouse-like
device. For that use-case it's enough to tag any device that's on USB and
Bluetooth with pointer capabilities as external mouse. A more complex can be
done when needed.
The tag function is part of the dispatch interface (to save on udev code) and
called before the caller is notified about the new device, i.e. the device is
fully configured by the time it needs to be tagged, and other devices can rely
on the tags being assigned by the time they get notified about the new device.

When a device is added or removed, notify all internal devices about the
device change. This allows all devices to configure themselves depending on
other devices in the system. Prime use-case here is an internal touchpad that
wants to know if an external mouse is connected.
On device added, notification goes both ways: existing devices are notified
about the new device, and the new device is notified about existing devices.
On device removed, notification only goes one way.
In both cases, the internal notification is complete before the event is sent
to the caller.

The big change here is the requirement to have the translation component in a
device-normalized coordinate space. Without that, we cannot reliably rotate as
the coordinate space is effectively unknown and may differ between the axes.
This affects any rotation matrix or translation matrix, pure scale matrices
were working just fine since they're unit-less.
Requiring the matrix in device-normalized space makes it possible for libinput
to rotate or otherwise handle the matrix independent of the screen resolution.
The rotation matrix is documented in a bit more detail to make it easier for
users to figure it out.
This changes the definition of the WL_CALIBRATION property (which is currently

We store timestamps in ms since system boot (CLOCK_MONOTONIC). This will wrap
after circa 50 days.
I've considered making our code wrapping safe, but that won't work. We also
use our internal timestamps to program timer-fds for timeouts. And we store
ms in a single integer but the kernel uses 2 integers, one for seconds and
one for usec/nanosec. So at 32 bits our ms containing integer will wrap
in 50 days, while the kernels seconds storing integer lasts a lot longer.
So when we wrap our ms timestamps, we will be programming the timer-fds
with a seconds value in the past.
So change all our internal timestamps to uint64_t to avoid the wrapping
when programming the timer-fds. Note that we move from 64-bit timestamps to
32-bit timestamps when calling the foo_notify_bar functions from
libinput-private.h. Having 64 bit timestamps has no use past this point,
since the wayland input protocol uses 32 bit timestamps (and clients will
have to deal with wrapping).
