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.

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.

Switch to a pure factor with a max scaled after a function. The offset is just
0 now (will be removed eventually). Both are determined with a function based
on a linear/exponential regression of a sample set of data pairs.

The range that matters is 0-200, maybe up to 400 if you account for really
fast movements. But to match other, published, accel curves default to up to
1000 mm/s. It's easy enough in gnuplot to reduce the range.

We used to normalize all deltas to equivalents of a 1000dpi mouse before
passing it into the acceleration functions. This has a bunch of drawbacks, not
least that we already have to un-normalize back into device units for a few
devices already (trackpoints, tablet, low-dpi mice).
Switch the filter code over to use device units, relying on the dpi set
earlier during filter creation to convert to normalized. To make things easy,
the output of the filter code is still normalized data, i.e. data ready to be
handed to the libinput caller.
No effective functional changes. For touchpads, we still send normalized
coordinates (for now, anyway). For the various filter methods, we either drop
the places where we unnormalized before or we normalize where needed.
Two possible changes: for trackpoints and low-dpi mice we had a max dpi factor
of 1.0 before - now we don't anymore. This was only the case if a low-dpi
mouse had more than 1000dpi (never true) or a trackpoint had a const accel
lower than 1.0 (yeah, whatever).

The previous approach to pointer acceleration was to initialize the same
motion filter behavior but a different acceleration profile depending on the
hardware (the profile converts a speed to a multiplier for input deltas).
To be more flexible for hardware-specifics, change this into a set of specific
pointer acceleration init functions. This patch has no effective functional
changes, they're still all the same.
The acceleration functions are kept for direct access by the ptraccel-debug
tool.

This reverts commit 8a6825f160.
Aside from introducing bugs, this doesn't really help with anything, it adds a
requirement to rename everything to make clear where we're using µs and where
we're using ms and that just clutters up the code.

There is no need here to use µs since we're just handling speeds/thresholds,
not actual events where a ms granularity can be too high.
Moving back to ms lets us drop a bunch of zeroes that clutter up the code, and
since the acceleration functions are a bit magic anyway, having the various
1000.0 factors in there makes it even less obvious.

In order to provide higher precision event time stamps, change the
internal time measuring from milliseconds to microseconds.
Microseconds are chosen because it is the most fine grained time stamp
we can get from evdev.

To quote Bryce Harrington from [1]:
"MIT has released software under several slightly different licenses,
including the old 'X11 License' or 'MIT License'. Some code under this
license was in fact included in X.org's Xserver in the past. However,
X.org now prefers the MIT Expat License as the standard (which,
confusingly, is also referred to as the 'MIT License'). See
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/tree/COPYING
When Wayland started, it was Kristian Høgsberg's intent to license it
compatibly with X.org. "I wanted Wayland to be usable (license-wise)
whereever X was usable." But, the text of the older X11 License was
taken for Wayland, rather than X11's current standard. This patch
corrects this by swapping in the intended text."
libinput is a fork of weston and thus inherited the original license intent
and the license boilerplate itself.
