Carlos Garnacho f8e2234ce5 backends/native: Drop external keyboard detection for ::touch-mode
This cannot be made to work reliably. Some factoids:

- Internal devices may be connected via USB.
- The ACPI spec provides the _PLD (Physical location of device) hook to
  determine how is an USB device connected, with an anecdotal success
  rate. Internal devices may be seen as external and vice-versa, there is
  also an "unknown" value that is widely used.
- There may be non-USB keyboards, the old "AT Translated Set 2 Keyboard"
  interface does not change on hotplugging.
- Libinput has an internal series of quirks to classify keyboards as
  internal of external, also with an "unknown" value.

These heuristics are kinda hopeless to get right by our own hand. Drop
this external keyboard detection in the hope that there will be something
more deterministic to rely on in the future (e.g. the libinput quirks
made available to us directly or indirectly).

Mutter

Mutter is a Wayland display server and X11 window manager and compositor library.

When used as a Wayland display server, it runs on top of KMS and libinput. It implements the compositor side of the Wayland core protocol as well as various protocol extensions. It also has functionality related to running X11 applications using Xwayland.

When used on top of Xorg it acts as a X11 window manager and compositing manager.

It contains functionality related to, among other things, window management, window compositing, focus tracking, workspace management, keybindings and monitor configuration.

Internally it uses a fork of Cogl, a hardware acceleration abstraction library used to simplify usage of OpenGL pipelines, as well as a fork af Clutter, a scene graph and user interface toolkit.

Mutter is used by, for example, GNOME Shell, the GNOME core user interface, and by Gala, elementary OS's window manager. It can also be run standalone, using the command "mutter", but just running plain mutter is only intended for debugging purposes.

To contribute, open merge requests at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter.

The coding style used is primarily the GNU flavor of the GNOME coding style with some minor additions such as preferring stdint.h types over GLib fundamental types, and a soft 80 character line limit. However, in general, look at the file you're editing for inspiration.

Commit messages should follow the GNOME commit message guidelines. We require an URL to either an issue or a merge request in each commit.
