[PATCH libinput 12/19] touchpad: require minimum scroll distance and lock scroll direction

[Peter Hutterer]

This is a fairly rough approach, but can be handled more fine-grained later.
Require a minimum of 1 unit to start scrolling and lock the scrolling in the
initial direction, so further scroll events are limited to that direction
only.
