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.
