Summary:
The signals emitted by LibInput::Connection carry the Device for which
the input event was received. This Device is passed to the input handlers.
Custom event classes are added which extend QMouseEvent, QKeyEvent and
QWheelEvent respectively and expose the Device. The Device is only passed
around as a forward declared pointer, so even if compiled without libinput
support, it should still compile.
Event handlers which need to get access to the Device can now just cast
the event pointer to the custom class and access it. This can be used in
future to handle device specific key codes, etc.
As we don't have a proper event classes for touch events the event
handlers do not yet have access to the Device. Here the internal API
needs to be adjusted in future.

With libinput we have the problem that we need to have privileges to
open the device files. In order to not need wrappers or suid bits, we
use logind. This means that kwin_wayland has to be the session controler.
A LogindIntegration is added to connect to logind and wrap the dbus
calls. This is based on the logind integration done for ksld in
ksmserver. The LogindIntegration is started by Workspace and the
InputRedirection tries to become the session controller and starts the
libinput integration only after this succeeded.
Libinput is an optional dependency for getting low level input events.
As opening the input devices requires root privs this is rather
pointless in the current state. But there is a small added test app which
can be executed with root privs to demonstrate the functionality. To
properly get input events we need a wrapper like it's used in weston.
So far the following is setup:
* opening devices found by udev
* forwarding keyboard events to InputRedirection
* forwarding pointer button events to InputRedirection
* forwarding pointer axis events to InputRedirection
* signals emitted for pointer motion events
Pointer motion events need some further work as they are provided
as delta events. We need to track that and map them properly.
Also missing are touch events due to me not having a touch screen.
It should be fairly simple to setup the touch events, though.
Also hotplugging of devices is not yet implemented.
