Some devices should be initialised as floating from the start (e.g.
Joysticks and accelerometers benefit from this). Currently users use the
"SendCoreEvents" "off" flag for this, which isn't the most appropriate

Currently when there multiple InputClass entries of the same type, only
the last entry is used and the previous ones are ignored. Instead,
multiple entries are used to create multiple matching conditions.
For instance, an InputClass with
MatchProduct "foo"
MatchProduct "bar"
will require that the device's product name contain both foo and bar.
This provides a complement to the || style matching when an entry is
split using the "|" token.

This patch changes order of precedence to be:
1. xorg.conf
2. xorg.conf.d (later files have higher priority)
3. config backend
In order to allow this ordering, the config parsing has been changed to
read the xorg.conf.d files before xorg.conf. This has the consequence
that the core device picking which looks for the first InputDevice may
not find it in xorg.conf.

Tags may be a list of comma-separated strings that match against a MatchTag
InputClass section. If any of the tags specified for a device match against
the MatchTag of the section, this match is evaluated true and passed on to
the next match condition.
Tags are specified as "input.tags" (hal) or "ID_INPUT.tags" (udev), the
value of the tags is case-sensitive and require an exact match (not a
substring match).
i.e. "quirk" will not match "QUIRK", "need_quirk" or "quirk_needed".
Example configuration:
udev:
ENV{ID_INPUT.tags}="foo,bar"
hal:
<merge key="input.tags" type="string">foo,bar</merge>
xorg.conf:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "foobar quirks"
MatchTag "foo|foobar"

Currently Xorg uses hal's fdi files to decide what configuration options
are applied to automatically added input devices. This is sub-optimal
since it requires users to use a new and different configuration store
than xorg.conf.
The InputClass section attempts to provide a system similar to hal where
configuration can be applied to all devices with certain attributes. For
now, devices can be matched to:
* A substring of the product name via a MatchProduct entry
* A substring of the vendir name via a MatchVendor entry
* A pathname pattern of the device file via a MatchDevicePath entry
* A device type via boolean entries for MatchIsKeyboard, MatchIsPointer,
MatchIsJoystick, MatchIsTablet, MatchIsTouchpad and MatchIsTouchscreen

Currently there is a single file, xorg.conf, for configuring the server.
This works fine most of the time, but it becomes a problem when packages
or system services need to adjust the configuration. Instead, allow
multiple configuration files to live in a directory. Typically this will
be /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d.
Files with a suffix of .conf will be read and added to the server
configuration after xorg.conf. The server won't fall back to using the
auto configuration unless there is no config file and there are no files
in the config directory.
Right now this uses a simpler search template than the config file
search path by not using the command line or environment variable
parameters. The matching code was refactored a bit to make this more
coherent. Any DDX wanting to read the config files will need to call
xf86initConfigFiles before opening/reading them. This is to allow
xf86openConfigFile without xf86openConfigDirFiles and vice-versa.
