Some touchpads, e.g. the Cyapa in the Acer c720 have a small axis range
([0, 870], [0, 470]), so the diagonal/magic value yields a hysteresis margin
of 1 device unit. On that device, that's one-tenth of a millimeter, causing
pointer motion just by holding the finger.
For touchpads that provide a physical resolution, set the hysteresis axes to
0.5mm and do away with the magic factor.

We can't rely on the system having these files installed, at least not in the
latest version that we'd like.
Copy them over from the source directory into the /run/ and /etc/ directories
for each test and update udev and the hwdb. This ensures the tags we set in
the hwdb file are always set, regardless of the system configuration.
Note that the /run/udev/* files need to have a different filename to the ones
we ship to avoid getting overridden by local configuration.
systemd does not have support for /run/udev/hwdb.d [1]. So our hwdb.d file
is in /etc/udev/hwdb.d instead and marked them with a REMOVEME and a comment
that if that file is left after the tests, it should be removed by the user.

For really slow motions, the previous acceleration factor would go down to
effectively zero. So the slower the mouse motion was, the more it would be
slowed down which made the mouse at low speeds almost unusable.
Cap the minimum acceleration at 0.3 which provides a predictable slow motion
for the cursor when high precision is required.

i.e. the general shape is maintained, but it doesn't go to zero anymore. The
functions aren't parallel, the new shape is slightly flatter than the previous
one and they meet at the point where the functions flatten for the threshold
(tx/ty). ascii art has its limits...

Our motion filter takes the last couple of vectors to calculate speed,
provided the direction stays the same and it is within a certain timeout. It
does not take into account lifting the finger, so the velocity on the first
event is off.
Real-world impact is mainly on scrolling. Before commit 289e4675
filter: enforce minimum velocity
the first motion on a scroll was accelerated by a factor of 0 and swallowed.
After 289e4675 the motion was calculated based on the timeout and a fraction
of the expected effect. Now the first scroll motion is based on the real
finger motion since setting the finger down and thus feels a bit more
responsive.
It also makes a couple of test cases using litest_assert_scroll() work again
since the miniumum motion is now as expected.

A common use-case for clickfinger is to use the index finger for moving the
pointer, then triggering the click with a thumb. If the index finger isn't
lifted before the click this counted as two-finger click.
To avoid this, check the distance between touches on the touchpad (on
touchpads reporting resolution values anyway). If the touches are too far
apart, don't count them together (or specifically only count those close
enough together as multi-finger).
The touch area is uneven, it's wider than high. Spreading fingers horizontally
is more common and this also makes it easier to rule out thumbs which tend to
be well below the fingers.

Tagging a device should occur only once during configure. We do not
have devices that can be changed after they are configured, so there is no
point in having the tagging part in a deferred struct.
Plus, the note saying that we tag with only one of EVDEV_TAG was wrong.
Now that we are chosing when we call each evdev_tag_*, we can also get
rid of the device->seat_caps tests.

The current code only defaulted to the middle button for those devices that
used button scrolling by default, requiring the user to enable button
scrolling _and_ set the button before it is active. This causes some
confusion.
There is no real benefit to leaving the button at 0 when the scroll
method isn't enabled anyway. So always default to the middle button (if
available).

In the current code, a timeout or direction change on the first tracker will
result in a velocity of 0. Really slow movements will thus always be zero, and
the first event after a direction is swallowed.
Enforce a minimum velocity:
In the case of a timeout, assume the current velocity is that of
distance/timeout. In the case of a direction change, the velocity is simply
that since the last tracker.

This timeout defines how far back in the events we search for velocity
calculations. For really slow movements, 300ms is not enough. It causes the
velocity to be 0 -> accel factor of 0 -> no movement.
As a result, really slow movement does not move the cursor.
Up the timeout to 1 second instead.

The current code labels a touch as palm if it started within the typing
timeouts. To move the pointer even after the timeout expires, a user has to
lift the finger which is quite annoying and different to the old synaptics
driver behaviour (which had a simple on/off toggle on whether to let events
through or not).
Be smarter about this: if a touch starts _after_ the last key press event,
release it for pointer motion once the timeout expires. Touches started before
the last key press remain labelled as palms. This makes it possible to rest
the palm on the touchpad while typing without getting interference but also
provides a more responsive UI when moving from typing to using the touchpad
normally.
