    Reduce button scroll timeout to 38ms · 5dae7aac

    When using button scrolling, a hardcoded delay of 200 milliseconds between
    button down and scroll events being emitted makes fast scrolling gestures feel
    clunky and sometimes fail entirely. This feature comes from
    xf86-input-mouse, was copied into xf86-input-evdev and reimplemented in
    libinput.
    
    This was, as far as can be determined, to allow right clicks without
    triggering scrolling. libinput now also has distance triggers (2bbf4a01)
    and sends button events if no movement has happened for long clicks,
    regardless of the delay.
    
    The 200ms delay is thus not really necessary anymore, let's drop it to 38ms
    which is just above the 3-event threshold for 8/10/12ms intervals which is
    most devices.
    
    Fixes #237
