Summary:
The raw pointer button events intercepted in the XInput2 input filter
get sent through the Platform to the PointerInputRedirection. This
makes the PointerInputRedirection track the pointer button state and
emit the signals for button changed and axis changed.
These signals are used by the modifier-only shortcut detection to
determine whether the shortcut should trigger.
On X11 the "normal" input handling doesn't use the InputRedirection
and the emitted signals are not consumed by anything else. As
PointerInputRedirection is not inited the events are not forwarded
to the input filter, thus won't be processed by other parts and
won't interfere with the normal event processing on X11.
Given that it also doesn't matter that the input filter does not
apply the left-handed setting. The internal tracking will have a
wrong mouse button, but nothing is going to do decisions based on
the value of the pressed mouse button. For the moment all we are
interested in is that a button is pressed.
Test Plan:
Pressed meta, clicked, scrolled, released meta: launcher
did not open. Pressed meta, released meta: launcher opened

BUG: 367730
At the same time the xinput2 integration is split out of X11Cursor
and made a standalone part of the platform plugin. XInput integration
is nowadays not only used by the cursor position polling, but also
for modifier only shortcuts.
By splitting it out the modifier shortcuts start to work also when
one doesn't have anything requesting a mouse position polling.
This also simplifies the conditional builds: xinput integration is
only included if we have support for it at compile time without having
to have many ifdefs in the cursor implementation. For the inclusion of
cursor in the kcmkwin this also removes all the ifdefs.
The key events are only requested if we have xinput 2.1. Otherwise we
would not get all raw events if the input device gets grabbed.
