weston: add more libinput config options

This is so that, for instance, people using weston as their main Wayland
compositor can invert the sense of two finger scrolling or change
pointer acceleration using weston.ini, rather than having to edit C
code.

All of the options that libinput itself exposes through its API are now
exposed in weston.ini.  The new options are called `tap-and-drag`,
`tap-and-drag-lock`, `disable-while-typing`, `middle-emulation`,
`left-handed`, `rotation`, `accel-profile`, `accel-speed`,
`scroll-method`, `natural-scroll`, and `scroll-button`. I have
successfully tested everything except for `rotation`, out of a lack of
hardware support.

weston now depends directly on libevdev for turning button name strings into
kernel input codes. This was needed for the `scroll-button` config
option. (weston already depends indirectly on libevdev through
libinput, so I figured people would be OK with this.) As a practical
matter for debian-style packagers, weston now has a build dependency on
libevdev-dev.

Right now, the code applies the same options to all attached devices
that a given option is relevant for. There are plans for multiple
[libinput] sections, each with different device filters, for users who
need more control here.

section is used to configure input devices when using the libinput input device
backend.
backend. The defaults are determined by libinput and vary according to what is
most sensible for any given device.
.PP
Available configuration are:
.TP 7
.BI "enable-tap=" true
enables tap to click on touchpad devices
.BI "enable-tap=" false
Enables tap to click on touchpad devices.
.TP 7
.BI "tap-and-drag=" false
For touchpad devices with \fBenable-tap\fR enabled. If the user taps, then
taps a second time, this time holding, the virtual mouse button stays down for
as long as the user keeps their finger on the touchpad, allowing the user to
click and drag with taps alone.
.TP 7
.BI "tap-and-drag-lock=" false
For touchpad devices with \fBenable-tap\fR and \fBtap-and-drag\fR enabled.
In the middle of a tap-and-drag, if the user releases the touchpad for less
than a certain number of milliseconds, then touches it again, the virtual mouse
button will remain pressed and the drag can continue.
.TP 7
.BI "disable-while-typing=" true
For devices that may be accidentally triggered while typing on the keyboard,
causing a disruption of the typing. Disables them while the keyboard is in
use.
.TP 7
.BI "middle-button-emulation=" false
For pointer devices with left and right buttons, but no middle button. When
enabled, a middle button event is emitted when the left and right buttons are
pressed simultaneously.
.TP 7
.BI "left-handed=" false
Configures the device for use by left-handed people. Exactly what this option
does depends on the device. For pointers with left and right buttons, the
buttons are swapped. On tablets, the tablet is logically turned upside down,
because it will be physically turned upside down.
.TP 7
.BI "rotation=" n
Changes the direction of the logical north, rotating it \fIn\fR degrees
clockwise away from the default orientation, where \fIn\fR is a whole
number between 0 and 359 inclusive. Needed for trackballs, mainly. Allows the
user to orient the trackball sideways, for example.
.TP 7
.BI "accel-profile=" "{flat,adaptive}"
Set the pointer acceleration profile. The pointer's screen speed is
proportional to the physical speed with a certain constant of proportionality.
Call that constant alpha. \fIflat\fR keeps alpha fixed. See \fBaccel-speed\fR.
\fIadaptive\fR causes alpha to increase with physical speed, giving the user
more control when the speed is slow, and more reach when the speed is high.
\fIadaptive\fR is the default.
.TP 7
.BI "accel-speed=" v
If \fBaccel-profile\fR is set to \fIflat\fR, it simply sets the value of alpha.
If \fBaccel-profile\fR is set to \fIadaptive\fR, the effect is more
complicated, but generally speaking, it will change the pointer's speed.
\fIv\fR is normalised and must lie in the range [-1, 1]. The exact mapping
between \fIv\fR and alpha is hardware-dependent, but higher values cause higher
cursor speeds.
.TP 7
.BI "natural-scroll=" false
Enables natural scrolling, mimicking the behaviour of touchscreen scrolling.
That is, if the wheel, finger, or fingers are moved down, the surface is
scrolled up instead of down, as if the finger, or fingers were in contact with
the surface being scrolled.
.TP 7
.BI "scroll-method=" {two-finger,edge,button,none}
Sets the scroll method. \fItwo-finger\fR scrolls with two fingers on a
touchpad. \fIedge\fR scrolls with one finger on the right edge of a touchpad.
\fIbutton\fR scrolls when the pointer is moved while a certain button is
pressed. See \fBscroll-button\fR. \fInone\fR disables scrolling altogether.
.TP 7
.BI "scroll-button=" {BTN_LEFT,BTN_RIGHT,BTN_MIDDLE,...}
For devices with \fBscroll-method\fR set to \fIbutton\fR. Specifies the
button that will trigger scrolling. See /usr/include/linux/input-event-codes.h
for the complete list of possible values.
