[PATCH weston] evdev: Mouse speed and acceleration

Acceleration: After examining, I don't like the X acceleration
approach. X employs a so called velocity approximation (?)
algorithm. It is quite a complex way to get an approximation of
a simple thing, the velocity, when we can compute the velocity
directly.

Configuring: Please, tune the values in mouse_init().

The tune speed coefficient is simply a multiplier of how fast
the mouse moves. The 1.0 is the real (raw) device speed.
These tune speed coefficients feel very natural to use:

 0.03125 0.0625 0.25 0.5 0.75 1.0 1.5 2.0 2.5 3.0 3.5

The acceleration boost factor (at 1.0 speed coefficient):

 0.01 - NO effect
 0.02 - small effect
 0.06 - medium effect
 0.10 - pretty strong
 0.13 - TOO strong

This patch does not introduce smoothing.
