[ANNOUNCE] libevdev 1.6.0

[Peter Hutterer]

libevdev 1.6.0 is now available. A new API to resolve event value names was
added with the functions libevdev_event_value_get_name() and
libevdev_event_value_from_name(). This complements the existing APIs to
resolve event types and event names but realistically it will only work for
the ABS_MT_TOOL_TYPE event code. This code is an enum as opposed to a normal
numeric value.

The various maximum values (e.g. "SW_MAX") now resolve too in
libevdev_event_code_get_name().

The use of the udpated struct input_event makes libevdev 2038-safe.

libevdev switched to gitlab, all links have been updated accordingly. The
repo is now at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libevdev/libevdev

Some minor improvements to the test suite so we can run those tests
that don't rely on uinput without needing root.

And finally, a kernel header sync so libevdev can resolve the new symbols
added in recent kernels.
