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.
Starting with Linux Kernel v5.0 two new axes are available for
mice that support high-resolution wheel scrolling: REL_WHEEL_HI_RES and
REL_HWHEEL_HI_RES.
Both axes send data in fractions of 120 where each multiple of 120
amounts to one logical scroll event. Fractions of 120 indicate a wheel
movement less than one detent.
Three new events are now available on libinput:
LIBINPUT_EVENT_POINTER_SCROLL_WHEEL,
LIBINPUT_EVENT_POINTER_SCROLL_FINGER, and
LIBINPUT_EVENT_POINTER_SCROLL_CONTINUOUS.
These events replace the LIBINPUT_EVENT_POINTER_AXIS event, so new
clients should simply ignore that event.
Also, two new APIs are available to access the high-resolution data:
libinput_event_pointer_get_scroll_value() and
libinput_event_pointer_get_scroll_value_v120().
Add a project argument (LIBINPUT_HAS_SCROLL_VALUE120) to allow
building against old versions of libinput or, where high-resolution
scroll is available, support it.
"max bpc" is a maximum value, the driver is free to choose a
smaller value depending on the bandwidth available.
Some faulty monitors misbehave with higher bpc values. We'll add
a workaround if users get hit by these in practice.

The EDID 1.4 spec says that the serial number is optional:
> If this field is not used, then enter “00h, 00h, 00h, 00h”.
Leave the wlr_output.serial field NULL in that case, and hide it
from the output description.
CTA-861-G says that "graphics" is used to indicate non-analog (ie,
digital) content. With that bit set, the sink should turn off analog
reconstruction and other related filtering.
Some output commits (changing e.g. the output scale or transform)
don't require any change in the KMS state. Instead of going through
a KMS commit, return early. Blocking KMS commits can be expensive.
The wlr_output API requires compositors to wait for wlr_output.frame
before submitting a new buffer. However, compositors can perform a
commit which doesn't involve a buffer anytime.
If the commit is a modeset, we set DRM_MODE_ATOMIC_ALLOW_MODESET and
block until the commit is done. If it isn't, we currently always
perform a non-blocking commit. This is an issue because a previous
page-flip might still be in flight kernel-side, returning EBUSY.
Fix this by using blocking commits when a buffer isn't submitted by
the compositor.

This allows the make/model/serial to be NULL when unset, and allows
them to be longer than the hardcoded array length.
This is a breaking change: compositors need to handle the new NULL
case, and we stop setting make/model to useless "headless" or
"wayland" strings.
Prior to [1], if an entry in a DRM format set was different than a
single LINEAR modifier, implicit modifiers were always allowed. This
has changed and now implicit modifiers are only allowed if INVALID
is in the list of modifiers.
So now we can safely enable explicit modifiers for cross-GPU imports,
without risking receiving buffers with an implicit modifier. This
should improve perf a bit on setups where two GPUs from the same vendor
are used.
This fixes the first bullet point from [2].

Maintaining our internal table up-to-date is tedious: one needs to
manually go through the PnP ID registry [1] and check whether we're
missing any entry.
udev_hwdb already has an API to fetch a manufacturer name from its
PnP ID. Use that instead.

Instead of waking up each 16ms to emit a frame event, arm the timer
when the output is committed. This allows the headless backend to
idle when nothing changes on screen, and behaves similarly to the
other backends.
All the code logic related to the pointer has been moved to its own file.
The seat is responsible for the lifetime of its wlr_wl_pointer(s), and assigning
them to the relevant wlr_wl_output. The wlr_wl_pointer becomes a simple helper
to manager the wlr_pointer associated to the seat's wl_pointer and its lifetime.
The destroy callback in wlr_touch_impl has been removed. The function
`wlr_touch_finish` has been introduced to clean up the resources owned by a
wlr_touch.
`wlr_input_device_destroy` no longer destroys the wlr_touch, attempting to
destroy a wlr_touch will result in a no-op.
The field `name` has been added to the wlr_touch_impl to be able to identify
a given wlr_touch device.
The destroy callback in wlr_tablet_tool_impl has been removed. The function
`wlr_tablet_tool_finish` has been introduced to clean up the resources owned by
a wlr_tablet_tool.

`wlr_switch_finish` has been introduced to clean up the resources owned by a
wlr_switch.
`wlr_input_device_destroy` no longer destroys the wlr_switch, attempting to
