To unify this we need to move the tagging process forward so tp_init() can
rely on it for config setup. This means moving it to the touchpad init code.
Other than that no real functional changes, the rules stay the same:
* serial/i2c/etc. are considered internal touchpads
* Bluetooth is always external
* USB is external for Logitech devices
* USB is external for Wacom devices
* USB is internal for Apple touchpads
And if we can't figure it out, we assume it's external and log a message so we
can put a quirk in place.

The removal of the hysteresis even on precise touchpads has led to
difficulties controlling the cursor in a few instances. Since 27078b2667
we only have the hysteresis on Apple touchpads and the Lenovo *40 series and
later. Even on those do we see some positioning difficulties (bug 94379).
So restore the hysteresis by default again for all touchpads. In the future a
knob could be exposed for precision vs reactivity or something, but for now
the drawback of imprecise positioning does not outweigh the benefits we get
on those few devices.

A large part of the bugs seen right now are related to touchpads jittering too
much. Fixing them one by one is entertaining, but time consuming. Right now
the number of touchpads that require a hysteresis seem to outnumber those that
don't, so switch the approach around: leave the hysteresis in place but

The touchpad's sensors are too far apart (or the firmware interferes), causing
in a jerky movement visible especially on slow motion. We get a bunch of
normal motion events, then only ABS_MT_PRESSURE updates without x/y updates.
After about one mm of movement x/y updates resume, with the first event
covering the distance between the last motion event. That event is usually
accelerated and thus causes a large jump. Subsequent events are sufficiently
fine-grained again.
This patch counts the number of non-motion events. Once we hit 10 in a row, we
mark the first motion update as non-dirty, effectively discarding the motion
and thus stopping the pointer jumps.

Some older touchpad devices jitter a fair bit when a finger is resting on the
touchpad. That's why the hysteresis was introduced in the synaptics driver
back in 2011. However, the default value of the hysteresis in the synaptics
driver ended up being 0, even though the code looks like it's using a fraction
of the touchpad diagonal. When the hysteresis code was ported to libinput it
was eventually set to 0.5mm.
Turns out this is still too high and tiny finger motions are either
nonreactive or quite jumpy, making it hard to select small targets. Drop the
default hysteresis by reducing its margin to 0, but leave it in place for
those devices where we need them (e.g. the cyapa touchpads).

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.

The previous code used a 5mm threshold before axis events were posted. This
threshold was on top of the 2mm 2fg threshold (and timeout handling) in the
gesture code and effectively prevented events from being sent after a timeout,
or in the 2mm-5mm range.
We still want a directional lock though, so split the two out. The default 5mm
threshold is set to 0 for touchpads since we have our own handling of the
threshold there. The directional lock only applies once scrollin has started
and remains on 5mm.

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.
