[PATCH] Policy: handle `input.touchpad' explicitly

This commit essentially duplicates the policy for:
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.mouse">
and then changes `input.mouse' to `input.touchpad'. This
is necessary because in Linus Torvalds's Linux repo:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
the following commit:
commit 7105d2ea73e1391b681d0e1212c42f561c64d429
Author: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov at gmail.com>
Date: Fri Dec 11 23:54:54 2009 -0800
Input: ALPS - do not set REL_X/REL_Y capabilities on the touchpad
Relative events are only reported via secondary device therefore device
associated with the touchpad should not advertise these capabilities.

so that HAL no longer adds:
input.mouse
to an ALPS touchpad's:
info.capabilities
so that HAL no longer marks the ALPS touchpad with:
input.x11_driver = 'evdev'
because the policy file:
fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-x11-input.fdi
doesn't define the policy for:
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.touchpad">
which was previous unnecessary because everything used to
be caught by the policy for:
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.mouse">
