The second RC for libinput 1.8 is now available.

There were a few more changes than I'd like it to be, mostly cleaning up
the meson build, the libinput tools and the test suite changes. Aside from
that, only one real change to libinput: On synaptics 2-slot touchpads we are
now ignoring movements when 3 fingers are down. This makes 3-finger tapping
much more reliable albeit at the cost of slightly slower gesture detection.

The 'enable-tests=true/false' meson option was changed to just
'tests=true/false' for consistency and a new boolean option 'documentation'
is now available to skip building docs.

On some systems like F25 we've seen SELinux denials after installing with
meson. This is a meson bug (https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/1967)
but for now we have a workaround in place during install and the
documentation is also online at
http://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/building_libinput.html

As usual, the git shortlog is below.
