From: Pekka Paalanen <pekka.paalanen at collabora.co.uk>

This is a Wayland protocol extension to allow the calibration of
touchscreens in Weston.

See: https://phabricator.freedesktop.org/T7868

v2:
- replace "server" with "compositor"
- rephrase error conditions to be simpler
- reword the matrix description in 'save' request
- rephrase when touch_device events are sent
- change device id to DEVPATH with "/sys" prefix
- qualify calibration units better
- replace wrong_touch event with a more generic invalid_touch
- fix error enum and add bad_coordinates
- convert while cancelled will not raise any errors

+    <description summary="weston touchscreen calibration interface">
+      This is the global interface for calibrating a touchscreen input
+      coordinate transformation. It is recommended to make this interface
+      privileged.
+
+      This interface can be used by a client to show a calibration pattern and
+      receive uncalibrated touch coordinates, facilitating the computation of
+      a calibration transformation that will align actual touch positions
+      on screen with their expected coordinates.
+
+      Immediately after being bound by a client, the compositor sends the
+      touch_device events.
+
+      The client chooses a touch device from the touch_device events, creates a
+      wl_surface and then a weston_touch_calibrator for the wl_surface and the
+      chosen touch device. The client waits for the compositor to send a
+      configure event before it starts drawing the first calibration pattern.
+      After receiving the configure event, the client will iterate drawing a
+      pattern, getting touch input via weston_touch_calibrator, and converting
+      pixel coordinates to expected touch coordinates with
+      weston_touch_calibrator.convert until it has enough correspondences to
+      compute the calibration transformation or the compositor cancels the
+      calibration.
+
+      Once the client has successfully computed a new calibration, it can use
+      weston_touch_calibration.save request to load the new calibration into
+      the compositor. The compositor may take this new calibration into use and
+      may write it into persistent storage.

+
+      Once the client has committed content to the surface, the compositor can
+      grab the touch input device, prevent it from emitting normal touch
+      events, show the surface on the correct output, and relay input events
+      from the touch device via this protocol object.
+
+      Touch events from other touch devices than the one tied to this object
+      must generate wrong_touch events on at least touch-down and must not
+      generate normal or calibration touch events.
+
+      At any time, the compositor can choose to cancel the calibration
+      procedure by sending the cancel_calibration event. This should also be
+      used if the touch device disappears or anything else prevents the
+      calibration from continuing on the compositor side.
+
+      If the wl_surface is destroyed, the compositor must cancel the
+      calibration.
+
+      The touch event coordinates and conversion results are delivered in

+      range exactly. Calibration units are in the closed interval [0.0, 1.0]
+      mapped into 32-bit unsigned integers. An integer can be converted into a
+      real value by dividing by 2^32-1. A calibration matrix must be computed
