[PATCH libinput] tablet: Add a left handed mode and tests

On the majority of Wacom tablets, the buttons are on the left side, opposite of
the side where the palm is meant to rest. Because of this, it's impossible to
use the tablet with your left hand (comfortably, anyway) unless you flip it
over, in which case the coordinates need to be inverted for it to match up with
the screen properly. This is where left handed mode comes in. When enabled, it
reverses all the coordinates so that the tablet may be rotated, and the palm
rest on the tablet moved over to the left side.

This probably should have been sent with the last patch instead of as a separate
patch, oops!
