All evdev devices are slave devices, which means that xkb state
and pointer position must be shared by emulating a core keyboard
and a core pointer. Also, we must make sure to add all modifier
state (keyboard and button) to our events.

For Wayland, this is mostly the input protocol having changed, although
there's also the SHM pool API, the cursor API, as well as fullscreen and
ping.
Also port to the new (months-old) xkbcommon API, as used by Weston 0.95.
This involves having xkbcommon manage the state for us, where
appropriate. Fans of multi-layout keyboards (or just caps lock) will no
doubt appreciate these changes.

The wayland client code has support for translating raw linux input
device key codes coming from the wayland compositor into key symbols
thanks to libxkbcommon.
A backend directly listening to linux input devices (called evdev, just
like the Xorg one) could use exactly the same code for the translation,
so abstract it a bit in a separate file.
