The upper layers (OSDs basically) want to know the monitor that a
tablet is currently assigned to, not the monitor just as configured
through settings.
This broke proper OSD positioning for display-attached tablets since
commit 87858a4e01, as the MetaInputMapper kicks in precisely when
there is no configured monitor for the given device.
Consulting both about the assigned output will make OSDs pop up
again in the right place.

This is 1) relatively likely as not all touchscreens are nice enough to
report a device size that will help us here and 2) Better than nothing if
everything fails anyway, as it will break on multi-monitor and non-default
monitor rotations.

Use the ID_INPUT_WIDTH_MM/ID_INPUT_HEIGHT_MM udev properties to figure out
absolute input devices' physical size. This works across both backends, and
requires less moving pieces to have it get the right results.
Concretely, fixes size detection on X11/libinput, which makes touchscreen
mapping go wrong.

Iterate over all the monitor product words to check for a partial matching on
EDID, otherwise we would hang inside an infinite while loop.
Fixes https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/459
This object takes care of mapping absolute devices to monitors,
to do so it uses 3 heuristics, in this order of preference:
- If a device is known to be builtin, it's assigned to the
builtin monitor.
- If input device and monitor match sizes (with an error margin
of 5%)
- If input device name and monitor vendor/product in EDID match
somehow (from "full", through "partial", to just "vendor")
The most favorable outputs are then assigned to each device, making
sure not to assign two devices of the same kind to the same output.
This object replaces (and is mostly 1:1 with) GsdDeviceMapper in
g-s-d. That object would perform these same heuristics, and let
mutter indirectly know through settings changes. This object allows
doing the same in-process.
