The problem is that libinput offers the possibility to not enabled
dragging when tap-to-click is enabled but mutter doesn't. For people who
have a sensitive touchpad and who like tap-to-click option, dragging is
launched even when you don't want it : for example, when you select a
folder, most of the time the folder is dragging whereas just selected or
when you want to select some lines of a text file, several lines are
moved as a cut-paste which is not expected and erase datas.
To fix it, you need to have the possibility to desactivate the drag
option when you use tap-to-click in mutter. Because it's already a
specification of libinput, it remains to add it to mutter.
Implementation with X11 is added too.

It is possible to interpret the ammount of padding provided to the
*_set_tablet_area functions in two different and incompatible ways. The X11
backend effectively treats them as being input-centric (i.e., the padding
defines the size of the "dead zone" on the tablet) while the native backend
has an output-centric viewpoint (i.e., the padding defines the size of the
"dead zone" on the display) viewpoint. This difference in opinion causes the
cursor offset to change when switching between Xorg and a Wayland sessions.
The calibration utility within g-c-c does its calculations with an input-
centric viewpoint, so this patch modifies the native backend to work
correctly with these values. To change viewpoints, we can simply invert
the scale and negate the offset. It should be noted that this function
also forgot to apply scaling to the offsets (as required by the matrix
transform done by libinput) which would have further compounded the
cursor offset issue under Wayland.

Disable-while-typing disables the touchpad while the user is typing.
This patch introduces the necessary backend code to implement the
org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad.disable-while-typing setting of
gsettings-desktop-schemas which was implemented in commit
4c5b1c1df399d6afaaccb237e299ccd1d5d29ddd and released as part of 3.24.
This is known as dwt in libinput.
This patch has been tested on X11 and Wayland.

A MetaOutput is a connector, not exactly a monitor or a region on the
stage; for example tiled monitors are split up into multiple outputs,
and for what is used in input settings, that makes no sense. Change
this to use logical monitors instead of outputs.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=779745
When no output was specified, the screen limit was used to calculate the
aspect ratio. The screen limit, however, is either just an arbitrary
number if no screen limit is applicable, or a hardware graphics buffer
limit, which has nothing to do with anything actually displayed. Change
it to use the screen size instead, to get something that makes more
sense when no output is found.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=779745
Using ClutterInputDeviceEvdev::output-aspect-ratio. This only applies
to devices which are not calibratable, so again we need to implement
this at the toolkit level.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=774115
We couldn't properly merge output-mapping matrix and calibration into
one. Now that libinput calibration matrix is free to use, we can
actually implement tablet calibration with it.

Stylus configuration (stylus buttons, pressure) was handled
at the very high level, doing the button and pressure translations
right before sending these to wayland clients.
However, it makes more sense to store these settings into the
ClutterInputDeviceTool itself, and have clutter apply the config
at the lower level so 1) the settings actually apply desktop-wide,
not just in clients and 2) X11 and wayland may share similar
configuration paths. The settings are now just applied whenever
the tool enters proximity, in reaction to
ClutterDeviceManager::tool-changed.
This commit moves all handling of these two settings to
the clutter level, and removes the wayland-specific paths

Enabling edge scrolling before disabling two finger would result in
edge scrolling not actually being enabled because two finger is still
enabled at the time and we bail out.
This patch moves this logic to common code for both the native and X
backends and fixes it by ensuring that both settings are never set at
the same time and still re-checking if edge scrolling should be
enabled after two finger scrolling gets disabled.
We also simplify the code by not checking for supported/available
settings since the underlying devices will just reject those values
and there isn't anything we can do about it here. It's the UI's job to
only show supported/available settings to users.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=771744
Checking for supported methods isn't needed since libinput will just
error out and do nothing itself if a requested method isn't supported
and, in fact, this logic was preventing the enum values 0 from being
set.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=771744
Support changing the mouse and trackball acceleration profile. This
makes it possible to for example disable pointer acceleration by
choosing the 'flat' profile.
This adds an optional dependency on gudev. Gudev is used by the X11
backend to detect whether a device is a mouse or not. Without gudev
support, the accel profile settings has have effect for mouse devices.
Trackball still uses the "strstr" approach, since udev doesn't support
tagging devices as trackball devices yet.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=769179
Add support for setting edge-scrolling separately from two-finger
scrolling. We now have 2 separate boolean settings for those, with the
Mouse panel in gnome-control-center allowing to set only one of those at
a time, but nothing precludes both being set in the configuration.
We need to handle:
- two-finger-scrolling-enabled and edge-scrolling-enabled settings both
being set.
- those 2 settings being change out-of-order
- two-finger-scrolling being set on a device that doesn't support it
- edge-scrolling-enabled on a device that doesn't support it
And the combinations of one touchpad supporting just one of edge
scrolling and two-finger scrolling and another vice-versa.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=768245
When the touchpad is two-finger scrolling capable, always enable it.
When the touchpad only supports edge scrolling (usually older devices, and
usually smaller devices), allow disabling the edge scrolling.
This requires a newer gsettings-desktop-schemas as the scroll-method key
was removed, and the edge-scroll-enabled key added.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=759304
The enums are swapped currently, because for edge scroll is enabled two finger
scroll and similary for two finger scroll is enabled edge scroll, what is
apparently wrong.
