Currently, the "wlr_event_pointer_axis" event stores low-resolution
values in its "delta_discrete" field. Low-resolution values are always
multiples of one, i.e., 1 for one wheel detent, 2 for two wheel
detents, etc.
In order to simplify internal handling of events, always transform in
the backend from the low-resolution value into the high-resolution
value.
The transformation is performed by multiplying by 120. The 120 magic
number is used by the kernel and it is exposed to clients in the
"WLR_POINTER_AXIS_DISCRETE_STEP" constant.
As touchpad touches are generally fully abstracted, a client cannot
currently know when a user is interacting with the touchpad without
moving. This is solved by hold gestures.
Hold gestures are notifications about one or more fingers being held
down on the touchpad without significant movement.
Hold gestures are primarily designed for two interactions:
- Hold to interact: where a hold gesture is active for some time a
menu could pop up, some object could be selected, etc.
- Hold to cancel: where e.g. kinetic scrolling is currently active,
the start of a hold gesture can be used to stop the scroll.
Unlike swipe and pinch, hold gestures, by definition, do not have
movement, so there is no need for an "update" stage in the gesture.
Create two structs, wlr_event_pointer_hold_begin and
wlr_event_pointer_hold_end, to represent hold gesture events and the
signals to emit them: wlr_pointer->pointer.hold_begin/hold_end.
The documentation for wayland-server.h says:
> Use of this header file is discouraged. Prefer including

Replacing wayland-server.h with wayland-server-core.h allows us to drop the
WL_HIDE_DEPRECATED declaration.
Frame events group logically connected pointer events. It makes sense to make
the backend responsible for sending frame events, since once the events are
split (ie. once the frame events are stripped) it's not easy to figure out
which events belongs to which frame again.
This is also how Weston handles frame events.

This introduces -DWLR_USE_UNSTABLE and adds information regarding the
stability status to all headers. I started with a conservative set of
headers to mark as stable:
- types/wlr_matrix.h
- util/edges.h
- util/log.h
- util/region.h
- xcursor.h
