Hans de Goede ad2acca72d core: Add internal event notification mechanism
For features like e.g. disable-touchpad-while-typing, it is necessary for one
device to be able to listen into another device's events.

It is tempting to use the existing device_added / device_removed mechanism
to give e.g. the keyboard a link to the touchpad, and make the keyboard code
disable / re-enable the touchpad but this is wrong. This needs to be a setting
of the touchpad, and the policy for things like which events to count as
activity, and what sort of timeout to use to consider the device idle, belongs
in the touchpad code not in the keyboard code.

Add an event listeners mechanism so that the touchpad can listen for (e.g.)
keyboard events, and respond to these itself.

libinput

libinput is a library that handles input devices for display servers and other
applications that need to directly deal with input devices.

It provides device detection, device handling, input device event processing
and abstraction so minimize the amount of custom input code the user of
libinput need to provide the common set of functionality that users expect.

Input event processing includes scaling touch coordinates, generating
pointer events from touchpads, pointer acceleration, etc.

libinput originates from weston, the Wayland reference compositor.
