Summary:
The LibInput::Device provides a way to enable/disable the device.
This is used by the Connection to toggle all touchpad devices on/off
when the touchpad key is pressed. For this KWin "steals" the global
shortcuts from the touchpad kded.
Detecting what is a touchpad is unfortunately not tivial. The code
uses the following approach:
* it's a pointer
* it's not also a keyboard or touch screen
* it's at least one of the following:
** supports multiple tap fingers
** supports disable while typing
** supports disable on external mouse
If the code finds a touchpad and changes it's state successfully,
it triggers the touchpadEnabledChanged on Plasma's osdService.
Test Plan: Tested on notebook with toggle touchpad button

Summary:
The configuration file kcminput, group Mouse is parsed to decide whether
pointer devices should be in left handed mode. The config is applied
whenever a new device is added.
In addition the Connection listens to KGlobalSettings for a mouse
settings changed signal which might be emitted by the mouse KCM.
When such a signal is emitted, all pointer devices are reconfigured.
This allows to change the mouse handed settings on Wayland.

Apparently libinput is too old and LIBINPUT_DEVICE_CAP_TABLET_TOOL is
not yet available. As we don't use it yet, it's put into the #if 0 part
for future use.
Summary:
The Device class wraps all the information we can get from libinput
about the device, like whether it's a keyboard, pointer, touch, etc.
In addition some more information is queried to figure out how "useful"
a device is. For a keyboard all alphanumeric keys are checked whether
they exist, for a pointer all (normal) buttons are queried.
All the information is exposed as Q_PROPERTY and used by the
DebugConsole. The DebugConsole gained a new tab "Input Devices" which
renders all devices and their properties in a tree view. When plugging
in/out a device, the model gets reset, so it's always up to date.
The new Device class can be used in future to configure the device,
e.g. disable touch pad, set mouse acceleration, etc.
