[PATCH libinput 0/3] touchpad: add disable-while-typing feature

This patchset adds the old feature "disable while typing" to libinput. We
already have some palm detection but on some touchpads (or typing
behaviours) it's not enough to analyse the edges alone.

We have some plans to add general better detection of palms on touchpads
that e.g. provide reliable finger width, but that simply won't work on all
touchpads.

Long term what's likely to happen is that depending on a touchpad's
capability we'll enable various detection methods, with this one being the
fallback when we don't trust the others to work.

Cheers,
  Peter
