Hans de Goede bb3edf4c94 touchpad: Switch to smooth simple acceleration code from filter.c
The old touchpad accel code was clamping touchpad acceleration between
0.2 and 0.4, and on the test devices I have the constant_factor ended up
such that in practice the accel was almost always 0.2, so rather than having
a velocity based acceleration curve, in essence it was just always using an
acceleration of 0.2 .

This commit introduces actual velocity based acceleration based on the
recently added smooth simple acceleration code from filter.c .

Before feeding motion events to filter.c, they first get adjusted for touchpad
resolution. For touchpads where the driver does not provide resolution info,
scale based on the diagonal-size in units instead.

While at it rename tp_init_accel's dispatch parameter from touchpad to tp
to be consistent with all other functions.

Since the acceleration is also used for scrolling also adjust the scroll
start threshold for these changes.

Note that switching to the smooth simple accel code, as an added bonus gives
the tp code an accel profile with a threshold and a speed parameter, which
is exactly what is needed for the upcoming configuration interface support.

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.
