The way touchpads (generally) work is that they get the position of each
finger on each scanout. The kernel filters touches that haven't moved to
reduce bandwidth so any touch that is logically down that we don't see an
update for is in the same position as during the last scanout.
Previously, touches that didn't sent events were effectively ignored, causing
our jump detection to fail:
- time t0: touch moves to position x/y, motion history time is set to t0
- time t1..t5: touch remains at position for several frames, no updates to the
motion history
- time t6: touch jumps to position x+a/y+b
- tp_detect_jumps() sees the last update time is t0 which is too long ago
and exits without detecting a jump
This is fixed by pushing to the motion history any time we have *any* update -
if the touchpad notices a state change on any touch update all touches with
their current position, whether it changed or not.
This obsoletes the `time` field in the tp_touch struct, most of this patch is
passing down the current time to the few users of t->time.
Fixes #578

libinput
libinput is a library that provides a full input stack for display servers and other applications that need to handle input devices provided by the kernel.
libinput provides device detection, event handling and abstraction to minimize the amount of custom input code the user of libinput needs to provide the common set of functionality that users expect. Input event processing includes scaling touch coordinates, generating relative pointer events from touchpads, pointer acceleration, etc.
User documentation
Documentation explaining features available in libinput is available here.
This includes the FAQ and the instructions on reporting bugs.
