[PATCH libinput] evdev: always default to the middle button for button-scrolling

The current code only defaulted to the middle button for those devices that
used button scrolling by default, requiring the user to enable button
scrolling _and_ set the button before it is active. This causes some
confusion.

There is no real benefit to leaving the button at 0 when the scroll
method isn't enabled anyway. So always default to the middle button (if
available).
