Fake proximity out event on Dell BLE pen

The Dell Active Pen (I think that's what it's called) has its own timeout before it sends proximity out events. This causes a fake proximity in/out event since 9bba1499. The last event is:

  - evdev:
    - [  0, 296539,   3,   0,      0] # EV_ABS / ABS_X                     0
    - [  0, 296539,   3,   1,      0] # EV_ABS / ABS_Y                     0
    - [  0, 296539,   1, 320,      0] # EV_KEY / BTN_TOOL_PEN              0
    - [  0, 296539,   4,   0, -368834328] # EV_MSC / MSC_SERIAL           -368834328
    - [  0, 296539,   3,  40,      0] # EV_ABS / ABS_MISC                  0
    - [  0, 296539,   0,   0,      0] # ------------ SYN_REPORT (0) ---------- +209ms

libinput debug-events output:

event9  - tablet: forcing proximity after timeout
 event9   TABLET_TOOL_PROXIMITY  +4.64s		97.91/108.57	pressure: 0.00	pen (0xea0408e8, id 0x431) proximity-out 
 event9   TABLET_TOOL_PROXIMITY  +4.80s		0.00*/0.00*	pressure: 0.00*	pen (0xea0408e8, id 0x431) proximity-in 	axes:p	btn:SS2
event9  - tablet: forcing proximity after timeout
 event9   TABLET_TOOL_PROXIMITY  +4.85s		0.00/0.00	pressure: 0.00	pen (0xea0408e8, id 0x431) proximity-out 

This is a bug, libinput shouldn't treat a proximity out event as proximity in, just to trigger another proximity out event.
