Peter Hutterer 3c7e3a1973 Change default DPI to 1000
400 used to be the default DPI for many mice but it it's not anymore. A survey
of mice shows that 400 is still common as one of the pre-configured settings
in switchable multi-resolution gaming mice, but devices with a single
resolution mostly favor 1000 dpi.

Let's make that switch now so that any future changes to the pointer
acceleration code assumes that resolution as a default.

For the touchpad, this has a bad side-effect, caused by our expectation of
mouse vs touchpad behaviours: our acceleration code ignores device type and
provides the same acceleration for the same physical movement. Unfortunately,
we expect touchpads to be significantly slower than mice.

The previous 400 DPI worked because it caused an acceptable slowdown on input.
e.g. on the T440 with a res of 42 units/mm, the scale coefficient was 0.37.
For 1000 DPI as default, this now results in 0.94, i.e. speeding up the
touchpad by a factor of 2.5. That is way too fast.

Adding touchpad-specific filter code is a bigger project, so let's just add a
fixme for now and scale the coefficient back to what it was before the
DPI default change. Effect: touchpad behaves as before.
