[PATCH libinput] touchpad: only pair internal trackpoint devices with internal touchpads

Internal touchpads with trackpoints are either BUS_I8042 or BUS_I2C, but not
BUS_USB. Lenovo sells external keyboards with a trackpoint built-in, make sure
we don't pair that trackpoint with the internal touchpad.
And likewise, the internal trackpoint should not be paired with e.g. a wacom
touch device.

Lenovo had one external device that has a trackpoint and a touchpad on an
external keyboard. That device won't be covered with this patch, if we have a
user we can re-consider.

some reason.
