Peter Hutterer d1dbbb7328 plugin: register plugins for the plugin-specific usages
The debounce, wheel/wheel-low-res, double-tool and eraser-button plugins can limit
themselves to a specific usage.

The mtdev plugin needs to pass each each event to mtdev and the proximity
timer plugin needs to get each event's timestamp so they cannot be
restricted.

The forced-tool could be restricted but effectively any event on the
devices it works on will have one of those usages set so there's no
point.

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

This includes the FAQ and the instructions on reporting bugs.
