Peter Hutterer 8e667070ff tools: ship the event-debug tool as an installed libinput-debug-events tool
Rebuild the same binary but without the special LDFLAG. The event-debug tool
is left as-is to allow for easy debugging with gdb, the new tool is now
libtool-enabled and can't be run directly in gdb without installing it first.
