    Extract and reset the abs fuzz value for the x/y axes · 1523d8bb

    The kernel fuzz handling is buggy, especially when we want to rely on the fuzz
    value for our hysteresis. But since this is a hw property and (at least
    sometimes) set by the driver, we can't make this a pure libinput hwdb set
    either.
    
    So our workaround is:
    * extract the (non-zero) fuzz into a udev property so we don't lose it
    * set the fuzz to 0 to disable the in-kernel hysteresis
    * overwrite our internal absinfo with the property fuzz
    
    This way we get to use the hw-specified fuzz without having the kernel muck
    around with it. We also get to use the EVDEV_ABS_ values in 60-evdev.hwdb to
    override a driver-set fuzz.
    
    Two drawbacks:
    - we're resetting the kernel fuzz to 0, this affects any other users of the
      device node. That's probably a minor impact only.
    - we can only save this in a udev property there's a risk of this information
      getting lost when playing around with udev rules. That too should be a minor
      issue.
