Given that information defines largely how such devices are to be
configured, it makes sense to have that information at hand. A getter
has been also added for the places where it could be useful, although
it will require HAVE_LIBWACOM checks in callers too.
GDesktopTouchpadScrollMethod was used instead of GDesktopTouchpadClickMethod
which became visible now that the former has been removed from
gsettings-desktop-schemas.

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.

Since 8769b3d55, the checks performed on which update_* function was
called for each device got quite more lax, leading to failed asserts
on code that assumed the previous behavior.
Change update_[mouse|touchpad|trackball]_* to bail out early if the
device received has not the right type, and remove the asserts.

For each device that can be mapped (touchscreens, tablets), the output
will be fetched from settings and matched with the currently connected
ones. If a match is found, the device matrix will be found out from the
output configuration and set on the device.
This is also updated both individually for newly connected devices, and
collectively on output configuration changes.

This goes through modifying XI2 device properties, either common ones (eg.
set on every device) or those specific to the libinput X11 driver. Keyboard
repeat/rate are set through core and XKB APIs.

This object internally keeps track of the relevant input configuration,
and goes through its vmethods in order to apply the configuration on the
backend-specific devices.
So far, only mouse/touchpad settings are actually attached to GSettings
changes. ::set_matrix(), meant for tablets/touchscreens, is not hooked
yet.
One caveat is that meta_input_settings_create() may return NULL if the
backend does not own the windowing system (wayland nested on X11 being
the one case), and thus device settings can't be changed freely.
